Passaic County Computer and Electronics Waste Collection
The Passaic County Office of Solid Waste and Recycling is sponsoring a computer and electronics drop-off, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine, September 19 and 20, at the Passaic County Para-Transit Facility, in Wayne.
Items accepted for drop-off include fax machines, hard drives, keyboards, radios, VCRs, modems and CD players. Passaic County residents are encouraged to partake in this event because recycling e-waste will keep items out of landfills and avoid toxic metals contained within electronics such as mercury, lead and cadmium from entering the groundwater.
Businesses that want to participate need to register beforehand. Recycling services will be provided by The Advanced Recovery of Newark, New Jersey and Port Jervis, New York.
Free for Passaic County residents (proof of residency required). Location: 1310 Rte. 23 N. For more information, call 973-305-5738 or visit PassaicCountyNJ.org.
