YMCA Thrift Shop Electronics Recycling

1000 N. Main St

The YMCA Thrift Shop on North Main Street in Blacksburg doubles as a drop-off point for electronics, rechargeable batteries, CFL bulbs, and ink jet cartridges. Electronics, working or not, go to the Thrift Shop dock during business hours, and televisions are accepted from Montgomery County residents only. Batteries, bulbs, and cartridges go to the recycling station in the lobby, a Town of Blacksburg installation. Each item is bagged individually, and the shop supplies bags and tape. Single-use alkaline batteries stay out because they belong in household trash, and stained or unusable textiles are turned away. Gently used clothing, books, housewares, blankets, and toys are donated at the same dock.
