The Tri-State Family & Pregnancy Center will be holding an e-waste and scrap metal recycling fundraiser on Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the front parking lot of The Sunshine Station.

The Sunshine Station is located across from Tractor Supply at 476 Route 6 and 209 in Milford.

The recycling fundraiser is open to all residents in the tri-state area as there is no residency requirements.

Items being accepted for recycling include computers/servers, network equipment, modems, routers, laptops, televisions, DVD/VCR players, cables, wires, battery back-ups, power cords, circuit boards, toasters/toaster ovens, microwaves, blenders, metal beach chairs, general metals, telephones/smartphones, air conditioning units, holiday lights, vacuums, pots and pans and more.

Lithium-ion batteries, car batteries and dry cell batteries also will be accepted.

The cost is $20 per car load.

An additional $10 will be charged for large appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, hot water heaters and BBQs.

Through fundraisers and the generosity of their donors the family and pregnancy center offers a variety of free services to those that are or think they are pregnant, as well as single parents, families, grandparents who are raising their grandchildren and foster parents.

Among the many services provided include pregnancy testing and parental coaching.

Additionally, the Center provides material aids such as diapers, children clothing, formula, baby food, cribs, highchairs, play pens and toys. All services and material aid are provided at no cost to those receiving them.

The Center was founded in 1991 and was in Matamoras before moving to its current location in The Prime-Time Meat Plaza in Milford.
