What an excellent opportunity to declutter and discard in a safe and responsible manner! Thank you Northeast Material Handling and Mt. Auburn Cemetery.
Does anyone know of a Watertown materials exchange?
Where we can drop off or pick up still usable electronics like the ones listed above that are going to be recycled?
It seems to me that the best way to recycle is to find ways to reuse them or for other people to still use them.

The Watertown Recycling Center accepts electronic waste items. Info at https://www.watertown-ma.gov/891/Electronic-Waste
You can also try the FreeCycle Network. There are several local groups in the areas, Waltham and Newton being two nearby ones. https://www.freecycle.org Post items you no longer want and look for items others are giving away that you may be able to use.
