While bargain hunters flock to the Melrose Trading Post for its deals on antiques and vintage items, the weekly flea market’s ‘Green Days’ event this weekend feels anything but timeworn.

The two-day event will include an e-waste collection from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Bring all your kaput electronics: computer monitors, TVs, printers, laptops, scanners, toner cartridges and VCRs. Not accepted: refrigerators, washer and dryers, fluorescent light bulbs or household batteries. There is a $5 service fee for microwave ovens. All proceeds from the e-waste drive, held in front of Fairfax High School, will benefit the school’s programs.
