E-Waste Collection Events Coming Online In Southeast With ECOvanta Help

PA Resources Council East will kick-off its Spring schedule of e-waste collections on March 2nd in Edgmont Township, Delaware County.  The events are more than just compliance with the "Covered Device Recycling Act of 2010."

Each collection is personalized to fit the needs of the host organization, offers environmental security, and can take place in any size location.   All material collected is processed in a safe and responsible way and within a few days we share the results to let you know exactly how many pounds of waste have been diverted from the landfill. 

On January 12 help coordinate an e-waste collection in Nether Providence, Delaware County. It was the biggest collection event to date for the eastern office - 37,000 pounds of e-waste was collected in 5  hours.
