Monitors and More has recently closed their retail location on Stephens Street in Roseburg. This has led many citizens to make some assumptions. To be perfectly clear, Monitors and More is very much alive and well. They are still located in their original warehouse location of 1900 SE Main Street in Roseburg, just behind Young’s Garden and Pet.
Monitors and More has been for the last several year an integral part of the recycling community here in Douglas County. Last year alone, over 560 tons of electronic waste was diverted from our local landfill through their recycling efforts.
Electronic waste or “E-waste” is important to recycle because it contains many toxic and environmentally hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants. By recycling scrap electronic components, we prevent the escape of these dangerous elements into the local water and soil.
Monitors and More currently accepts the following: Computers, monitors, stereos, VCR and DVD players, printers, scanners, cables, and more. Their motto is “if you can plug it in and it doesn’t cook something or wash something, we take it”. You can find them online at http://www.monitorsandmore.org/ for more information.
By recycling our waste through the opportunities that abound, you can save money and precious natural resources and energy. If you want to know more about waste reduction, contact me today. Together we can Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle and Trash Douglas County Less!
