Delaware County sponsors four (4) Household Hazardous Waste
(HHW) Collection Events each year.
Each
year, the number of participants and the weights, particularly
computers and TVs increase. In 2012, we will continue to offer
computer and portable TV recycling but beginning this year we are
expanding our E-Waste to include small electronics (excluding items
that contain Freon) 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.
