hazardous items (Cabot, Jacksonville, Sherwood)

- I'm a disabled vet/retiree. So I don't go completely insane during retirement I've decided to help the environment. Microwaves, old computers and TV's are really bad for the environment when put into landfills. Microwaves contain beryllium which is an extreme cancer-causing chemical. TV's contain fire retardants which are very hazardous, and LED chemicals. Laptops and computer towers also contain many chemicals. I pick these items up for free and dismantle the hazardous parts from them and send them to companies that dispose of them properly. The remaining pieces are sent to area recycling centers as donations. Please don't place these items on the curb, especially microwaves. They have a capacitor inside that if touched by neighborhood kids playing with it holds enough power to kill immediately. If you are in the Jacksonville, Cabot, Austin, Ward, Sherwood or NLR area's feel free to message me with details about what you have and I will come pick it up for free. I can pick up microwaves in any condition. Laptops and computer towers no matter age/damage. (no computer monitors). I can pick up newer flat/thin tv's (no older than 2019) that your kid threw their toy at and cracked the screen. Thanks for any help. *Items listed above are the only items we pick up. We do not pick up washers and dryers and scrap metal items. We are strictly trying to keep certain items out of landfills. Thanks.
