Drop Off Hazardous Waste and E-Waste
Benefits to the Environment: Electronic waste (TVs, computers, wiring, etc.) often contain
materials that are very harmful to the environment including mercury, heavy metals, and other
manufacturing by-products.
Benefits to you: Most of the material that is harmful to the
environment are also harmful to people.
The Simple Steps to Take: Some home improvement superstores
recycle items such as batteries and CFL bulbs. Larger items, such as
televisions and computer monitors can be taken to local E-cycle
events. Dates for these events are posted by Delaware County at
www.co.delaware.pa.us/recycle/
The last Haverford E-cycle event collected 42,318 pounds of E-waste!
