Essex County’s computer and electronics recycling day is this Saturday, May 17, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Due to the ongoing construction of the Essex County Public Works Building, the collection location has been moved to 125 Fairview Avenue in Cedar Grove next to the old Essex County Hospital Center just north of Verona Pool.
Items being accepted at the recycling event are computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, scanners, telecom equipment, speakers, televisions, keyboards, main frames, VCRs, stereos, DVD players, toasters, irons and cellular telephones. Not being accepted are smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms.
The computer and electronics recycling day is for Essex County residents only; businesses may not drop off materials. Residents are not charged when they bring materials, but they must provide proof of residency.
