Crowd at Office Max recycling event, but no TVs

People were dropping off hundreds of PCs at the Ballard Office Max’s “Recycle Your Old Electronics” event on Saturday.

But despite what the store told My Ballard Friday — and what TV news reported — Office Max says it is NOT accepting TVs, DVDs or VCRs. It’s only taking PC equipment like CPUs, monitors and printers.

A few people arrived with TVs and other non-PC electronics in hand, only to be turned away. Some just left them stacked in front of the store. While frustrating for some, others were happy to finally get rid of their old computers for free.
