Paragus to Host Technology Recycling Drive to Benefit Dakin Humane Society

HADLEY — Earth Day is right around the corner. For individuals and companies looking to get rid of their old computer equipment and do some good, Paragus IT will host a technology recycling drive to promote sustainability on Earth Day and to benefit Dakin Humane Society.

“This is our fifth time doing this drive,” Paragus Marketing Manager Mary Seabury said. “It’s a great opportunity for local businesses and individuals to recycle their old technology while doing our part to protect our planet and its creatures.”

On Wednesday, April 22 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., those looking to recycle old, unwanted computers, laptops, printers, and other equipment can drop it off at Paragus at 122 Russell St. in Hadley.

Paragus will prepare them for reuse or make sure they’re properly disposed of. In exchange, it will collect $5 per piece of equipment — all of which will go to benefit Dakin Humane Society.

Some items may have additional fees, including: CRT TVs above 24 inches ($40), projection/console TVs ($40), flatscreen TVs and CRT TVs below 24 inches ($30), CRT monitors ($15), printers and copiers ($5), and toner, both used and unused ($5).
