On September 18, the PA Resources Council announced it will host three electronics waste collection events in Delaware and Montgomery counties starting on September 26.

The events will provide residents with a convenient and cost-effective method of responsibly disposing of televisions, computers and other electronic equipment.

They will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on--

-- September 26 - Delaware County: Catania Park 230 W. Chester Pike, Ridley Park, PA 19078 sponsored by Delaware County Parks in partnership with County of Delaware, DELCO Sustainability and Reworld

-- October 10 - Montgomery County: White’s Road Park 400 Whites Road, Lansdale, PA 19446 sponsored by DOW in partnership with Lansdale EAC and Reworld

-- October 21 - Delaware County: Rose Tree Park 1671 N. Providence Rd, Media, PA 19063 sponsored by Delaware County Parks in partnership with County of Delaware, DELCO Sustainability and Reworld

Participants must register in advance at the PRC Collection Events webpage or by calling 610-353-1555 x3.

At no cost, individuals can drop off laptops, tablets, computer towers, phones and various electronic devices.

For a fee, individuals can recycle televisions, computer monitors and printers.

“PRC provides residents with numerous options to conveniently and cost-effectively dispose of a wide variety of materials not accepted in curbside pickup,” according to PRC Executive Director Darren Spielman.  “It’s important to divert these materials from landfills since many contain toxic elements that can leach into our waterways or introduce dangerous toxic chemicals into our environment, while others contain valuable recyclable resources.”
