[ale] Spring Electronics Recycling Day (Decatur Area)

[aaron]

Another opportunity to recycle those dead and dieing geek
gadgets of yesteryear, but don't feel rushed.  While the convenience
of these scheduled local drop offs are a good motivator, literature
handed out at the DeKalb recycling event a couple weeks back
indicated that electronic recycling is now accepted 6 days a week
at the county land fill.
