The selected Little Leagues are Waterford Little League, South Colonie Youth Baseball, Coxsackie Little League, and Cambridge Valley Athletic Association.

Renovation on each field will begin at 6a amd willalso include straightening of the baselines and making sure field dimensions are correct.

Capital Region residents and businesses with unwanted electronic equipment can recycle it in an environmentally friendly way.

The 10th Annual Electronics Recycling Day will be held on Saturday, April 21 at Taft Furniture in Colonie.

The recycling day is being held in honor of Earth Day and people and businesses are invited to recycle used TV’s, computers, cell phones, VCR’s and other unwanted electronic equipment.

Last year, over 4,000 cars lined up to recycle unwanted electronics and over 250 tons of electronic equipment was recovered and recycled instead of going to landfills. The equipment filled up 20 tractor trailers.
