Tons Recycled During
June Collection Event |
Passaic County’s “Computer and Electronics Recycling Collection” in June netted more than 15 tons (30,000 lbs.) of recyclable items over a 2-day period. Computers, keyboards, modems, copiers, and fax machines, as well as televisions, radios and stereo systems were dropped off.
“Passaic County residents and businesses have shown their support by recycling and keeping these materials out of our landfills,” said Nina Seiden, Solid Waste and Recycling Programs manager. “By recycling, toxic chemicals, such as lead, mercury and cadmium, are prohibited from entering our groundwater.”
The next Computer and Electronics Recycling Collection will be held 9 am to 2 pm on Friday, Sept. 26 & 27. |
