And another in Cobb County:

Recycle old electronics and donate shoes to help the needy
Residents will have the opportunity to dispose of unwanted electronics 
in an environmentally-friendly way when Keep Cobb Beautiful staff hosts 
Electronics Recycling Day 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 12, at Jim 
Miller Park, 2245 Callaway Road, Marietta. Many items will be accepted 
at no charge, including computers, microwaves, printers, cameras, 
telephones, CD players, cell phones and VCRs. Televisions will be 
accepted for a $10 fee each. Items not accepted include: projection 
televisions, refrigerators, washers and dryers, ovens and tires. For 
more information on what items will or will not be accepted, visit 
cobbcounty.org/kcb.
In addition to electronics, volunteers at the location will accept new 
or gently-used shoes to benefit the charity Soles4Souls. Please tie or 
band them together in pairs. The charity distributes shoes donated from 
people and footwear companies free of charge to people in need, 
regardless of race, religion, class or any other criteria. Since 2005, 
the organization has given away more than 16 million pairs of shoes in 
more than 125 countries, including Kenya, Thailand, Nepal and America. 
For more information, visit soles4souls.org.
