The Two Rivers Council of Governments and the Palmer Township Environmental Steering Committee will sponsor an Electronic Recycling Day on MAY 9, 2009, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at the EAHS Parking Lot. So please mark your calendar for that date and begin to store your discarded electronic "junk". For those of you who will be disposing of your television because of the change to digital please don't throw it in the trash but rather store it and bring it to the ecycling event.

There are other ecycling events occuring in Northampton County this year along with a Household Hazardous Waste event. Click here for further details.

By participating, you will be conserving natural resources and protecting the environment from significant amounts of heavy metals found in electronic equipment that are poisonous to human health and the environment. To read more about electronic recycling and keeping these items out of the waste stream read the EPA publication - Electronics: A New Opportunity for Waste Prevention, Reuse, and Recycling.

There will be a nominal cost for each item to offset the cost of recycling. The price list is located at the bottom of this page.
