Old Electronics

We live in a disposable and throw away society. In some respects it's remarkable that we can continue to produce new more advanced products that make our current items obsolete in short order. With a preponderance of used cell phones, printers, computers and the like that are frequently replaced, the problem of where to dispose these items is a point to consider.


There are several organizations that request these used products so they can either refurbish or recycle the electronics. Beginning in January the state has mandated that electronics must be separated from regular refuse so they don't wind up in landfills. Our waste department will no longer pick up these items at curb side and ask that citizens bring these items to the transfer station. There will be a small charge to process the electronics at the transfer station. If you want to hold onto your old electronics until the spring, the city will hold a no charge collection period for electronics.


Recycling is just a small way we can help protect our environment. For more information you can call 472-1651.
