FALL ELECTRONICS RECYCLING PROGRAM
There are many opportunities to recycle old electronics, for example, they are now being recycled at the Rupert Road Transfer Station, which is open Monday - Saturday, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. Please obtain a permit from the Town Hall, Town Park or Highway Garage before you go. NOTE: There is a small fee for recycling some electronic items, please consult the Rupert Road Transfer Station page for more details. There is also our Fall Electronic Recycling Program coming up in October.
Residents and businesses* can bring their obsolete electronics to the Bethlehem Highway Garage, 74 Elm Avenue East, Selkirk, NY on Friday, October 1, 2010 between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and Saturday, October 2, 2010 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Items that are acceptable include computers and all their parts, printers, fax machines, VCR/DVD/CD players, televisions and tubes (no consoles), microwaves, home telephones, cell phones, radios and stereos. Many electronic items contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury. They should be handled properly and not disposed in a landfill.
All electronics determined to be unusable will be disposed in an environmentally safe manner. Computers that can be reused will have the hard drive data destroyed, a new hard drive installed and the refurbished computer will be redistributed for further use.
The Vendor for this program is Sunnking, LLC.
*Businesses in the Town of Bethlehem may participate in this electronic program, too, but must pre-register due to regulations and quantities they may wish to turn in for recycling. Please call 439-4955 x 1510, Monday through Friday (except Wed.) from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., to pre-register, or for all other inquiries.
Just a reminder, cell phone recycling is ongoing. Cell phones, plastic six-pack rings and household batteries** can also be dropped off any time during business hours at the Highway Garage in Selkirk or Elm Avenue Park Offices. (**All alkaline batteries are now to be disposed of in the regular trash rather than being recycled) |
