Electronic Waste
The City of Benbrook encourages citizens to recycle electronic items whenever possible. The City is hosting a FREE event for residents of Benbrook to recycle electronic and appliance items. Innovative Electronics Recycling will provide a truck/trailer from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on February 8, 2014.

There will be attendants available to help unload items.

As a rule of thumb, if it can be plugged in, it can be recycled. The following is a list of common items that citizens can bring for recycling:

Televisions (any size)
Computers/monitors/printers (Innovative Electronics destroys the hard drive)
Fax Machines/Copiers
Microwave ovens
Dishwashers/Washers/Dryers/Refrigerators
Gaming systems (Xbox, PlayStations, etc.)
Vacuum Cleaners

They will also accept batteries, but NO light bulbs
