As part of Earth Day, Newschannel 13 sponsored an electronics recycling day at Taft Furniture this morning. It gave people the opportunity to get rid of their old televisions, computers, VCR's, fax machines and other items safely.

A line of cars wrapped around the massive parking lot at Taft Furniture in Colonie, causing congestion that spilled out onto Central Ave; all of them capital region residents eager to clean out the clutter from their homes.

Old computers, TV's, outdated appliances; you name it, as well as just plain electronic junk filled the Taft parking lot.

“A team of volunteers helped to sort them out into the right boxes. Some of them as young as ten years old, but don't let their age fool you. They knew exactly why they're here,” says one volunteer.
