Key Biscayne 2012 Electronics Recycling Drive

• Electronics Recycling Drive - April 21, 2012

  
  Our 5th annual Electronics Recycling Drive on April 21, 2012 is part of the Village Goes Green Initiative. Join us to celebrate recycling and Earth Day!
  
  The event is open to all residents (single-family homes, condos and apartments) and local businesspeople.   If you have any questions, please contact the Village Public Works Department at (305) 365-8945.
  The drive-through drop-off location will be at the West Enid Drive on-street parking zone betwee the Village Hall parking lot and the Winn-Dixie building. You will see a tent and lift-gate truck belonging to EScrap, the Village vendor, between Village Green Way and Fernwood Road.
