CONCORD — Spring cleaners are in luck with a recycling event Saturday in Cabarrus County. Those who have unusual items that are not collected in most curbside recycling programs will be able to bring them to the Church of God Children’s Home, 3485 Orphanage Circle, Concord, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. for free.
Items to be collected include disposable cameras, ink and toner cartridges, cellphones, batteries, compact fluorescent light bulbs and electronics. Cathode ray tube TVs and monitors will be collected for a $3 to $10 fee.
It’s part of the second annual Viva Verde Earth Fest, hosted by Concord, Kannapolis and Cabarrus County.
