Recyclers eligible for Wall-E items

TRAVERSE CITY -- Area environmentalists will accept small, hard-to-recycle electronics during the National Cherry Festival and give away T-shirts and posters featuring Walt Disney's Wall-E the recycling robot.

Items such as iPods, cameras, cell phones, hand-held video games, portable CD/DVD players, laptops, batteries and computer peripherals will be accepted from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily in the Open Space during the festival. Drawings for movie items will be held on July 5, 6, and 7.
