The Native Village of Eyak (NVE) will host a free electronics recycling event from April 22-26 to haul off just about anything that plugs in or takes a battery.

That includes televisions, computers, monitors, printers, digital cameras, stereos, A/V equipment, cell phones, telephones, wall chargers, microwaves, speakers, vacuum cleaners, VCRs, DVD and CD players.

Electronics will only be accepted from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the lot behind NVE’s main office by the harbor.

NVE is not accepting dishwashers, washing machines and dryers, refrigerators, freezers, exit signs, PCB ballasts or smoke detectors.

Lynden Transport and Alaska Marine Lines are donating shipping services for the event.
