Boy Scout Troop 186, a North Seattle-based Boy Scout troop, is conducting a fundraising e-cycling drive Sunday, Jan. 23.

During the e-cycling drive, the Boy Scouts will pick up and responsibly recycle obsolete electronics.
Troop 186 will be charging $25 for each 2′-by-2′-by-2′ box of electronics and $25 for each monitor or TV. There will be a $20 surcharge for each printer.
