Once must-have electronics gather for recycling

Posted

A 1960s vintage television broadcasts a final image — the reflection of volunteers carrying another old television and photographer Steve Connors — before it is loaded onto the recycling truck Wednesday. The Westport River Watershed Alliance held another of its successful recycling events, this time bringing in an estimated 6,000 pounds of old computers, turntables, monitors and televisions from a generation or two ago.

When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
