TVs and computers are BANNED BY LAW from landfills and CANNOT be collected or accepted by the Borough.

PLEASE DO NOT PUT THEM OUT FOR TRASH — YOU WILL BE FINED!

SO WHAT DO YOU DO?

• If you buy a new TV ask the retailer to take your old one.
• Goodwill Donation Centers work with an Ewaste Recycler to take non-working, intact, TVs and computers for recycling.
• Residents may now take up to 2 computer monitors/TVs to the County Resource Recovery Complex in Mansfield. There is a $20 fee for more than 2 of these units. Other computer parts and electronic equipment are accepted for free. (THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF 2 TVs/MONITORS PER RESIDENT AT NO COST HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY WAIVED.)
• The Borough may sponsor another ewaste dropoff event for residents in the fall but the situation is volatile and the laws are changing. Plus it now costs the Borough $100 PER UNIT – residents however, may drop off 2 to the county for free!
