Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event

Delaware County is sponsoring four (4)  Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Events in  2011.   Each year, the number of participants and the weights, particularly computers and TVs increase.  In 2010, we hosted four collection events, three of which offered computer and TV recycling.    In 2011, we will continue to offer computer and portable TV recycling at three of our four events.  A record total of 5,902 residents participated in the program last year, removing over 489,502 pounds of hazardous materials from the waste stream.  Of that total, computers and TVs made up 266,385 pounds.  If you’ve ever participated in an event, you leave with a good feeling knowing you’ve disposed of your hazardous items in a responsible fashion.    

PLEASE VISIT: http://www.co.delaware.pa.us/recycle/hhw.html TO FIND OUT WHAT IS ACCEPTED ON SATURDAY.  NO TV'S OR COMPUTERS AT THIS COLLECTION EVENT.
