E-recycling day set Oct. 21
Do you have unwanted computer components (desktop computers, laptop computers, flat screen monitors, keyboards, mice, scanners, printers, battery back-up units, etc) that you don’t know to dispose of properly?
If so, the Montague Emergency Communications Team would like to help with its annual Computer Recycling Day from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 21 at the Bowie city hall parking lot.
This is a great opportunity for a fall clean-up day around your house or office. The group will recycle your unwanted computer components in an environmentally friendly manner.
The group also will insure any computer hard drives are destroyed, thus preventing anyone from gaining access to personal information that may be left in the memory.
They also can accept sealed lead acid (SLA), nickel cadmium (NiCad), nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries for recycling, but cannot take alkaline batteries.
The E-recycle day also cannot accept computer monitors or televisions with cathode ray tubes (CRTs).
This is a public service at no cost to the community. Any proceeds will benefit the Montague Emergency Communications Team and the Montague County SKYWARN program.
Those with questions can email kirk@higginstx.com.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
