E-recycle day set Feb. 22
The Montague County Emergency Communications Team will conduct an electronics recycle day from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 22 at the Bowie Community Room at the corner of Mason and Pecan.
The group will accept unwanted computer components and ensure they are disposed of properly in an environmentally friendly manner. They also will ensure any computer hard drives are destroyed, preventing any access to personal information left on the memory.
E-recycle day also will accept sealed lead acid (SLA), nickel cadmium (NiCad), nickel metal hyride (NiMH) and lithium ion (Li-lon) batteries for recycling.
They will not accept computer monitors or televisions with cathode ray tubes (CRTs).
This public service is being offered at no cost to the community. Any proceeds will benefit the Montague Emergency Communications Team and the Montague County SKYWARN program.
Questions may be directed by email to: [email protected].
The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
