Hearst Community Freecycle and E-Cycle Event in NW DC, April 2

Saw this mentioned on a list-serve and then found the website.

"Please also note that there will be a free-cycle section at this event so that attendees may donate working electronics which other folks may then take with them . We will be collecting the following electronics for a new life in our free-cycle or for transport to Ft. Totten for recycling."

See site for list of items they will accept. The school is located at 3950 37th Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20008.
