LIBERTY – Wondering what to do with your unused, unwanted electronics? Bring them to the electronics recycling event sponsored by the 4-H Youth Development Program of Sullivan County.

Old monitors can contain lead and other hazardous materials. In partnership with Advanced Recovery, Inc. and the Sullivan County Division of Solid Waste & Recycling, the Sullivan County 4-H Program is working to keep “E-Waste” out of landfills. Advanced Recovery is a recycling company that will collect the materials, salvage for reuse or otherwise recycle each component of your electronic equipment, so that no hazardous materials are sent to your landfills.

June 18^th is reserved for commercially generated e-scrap from businesses, government agencies, banks, school districts and other institutions. Organizations will be invoiced $10 per monitor, laptop, LCD or plasma television with all other electronic equipment accepted free of charge.

June 19^th is open to the public for residentially-generated materials at a charge of $10 per carload (maximum 7 items per car).

Both the commercial collection event on June 18^th and the residential collection event on June 19^th take place at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Liberty. Please visit the Sullivan County Cornell Cooperative Extension website www.sullivancce.org for more information, or call 845-292-6180.

Businesses must pre-register with Bob Travers at 845-858-8809 or e-mail rtravers@advancedrecovery.com.

A portion of the proceeds will be returned directly to 4-H of Sullivan County, so a successful electronics collection event benefits us all!
