 What to Do With Old TVs, PCs & Other Items
One of the most frequent questions I receive is what to do with those "non-recyclable" items that should not be thrown out with the trash - such as TVs, computers, etc. Although the Township offers bulk pickup, the best option is to dispose of these items, ranging from packing peanuts to computers, in a way that allows them to be recycled - or minimizes the need to add them to our landfills.
As a result of this demand for information, I have added a page to my website with links to a variety of websites that offer tips on where and how to recycle; in addition, I have included links to websites that will recycle some of these items, some for a fee, and some that will even pay you. Just click here for more information.
With everyone's cooperation, we can all do more to avoid adding more to our landfills. And remember, every item that we don't send to the landfill saves tax dollars. If you have additional information to add to my website, just send an email to dansiegel@4haverford.com. |
