Recycling Center Honors Earth Month With Special Electronics Collection

Mother Earth is very important to the Lackawanna County Recycling Center.

In honor of Earth Month and as a way of preserving our environment, the Lackawanna County Recycling Center will be accepting electronic devices free-of-charge during the month of April for Lackawanna County residents and municipalities only.

The $1 per pound fee has been waived for the drop-off of electronics such as televisions, computer monitors, towers, mouse accessories and keyboards, and cell phones.

To qualify for the free drop-off, individuals must show center personnel a photo ID for proof of residency.  Municipalities have to call in advance to drop-off the electronics.

The $1 per pound charge will be in effect for all out-of-county electronics.  Beginning May 2, a fee schedule will be in effect for all in and out-of-county residents and municipalities.
