For the second year in a row, the Northampton County Public Works Department will reimburse municipalities to hold their own Electronic Recycling events. The County will pay for the vendor mobilization fee which includes laborers, material and supplies and transportation of e-waste to a certified facility. Residents may have to pay a fee depending on the types of electronics they drop off to be recycled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese individual collections offer many advantages including shorter lines and less distance to travel,\u201d says Lamont McClure. \u201cWhile the County was able to host these events for all of our residents prior to 2020 that is no longer possible due to COVID-19 restrictions and finding a vendor who will do large-scale collections.\u201d<\/p>\n
Residents should contact their municipal office for information on when and if a recycling event will be held in their borough, township or city. For those who don\u2019t have access to an event, permanent Electronics Drop-off locations include:<\/p>\n
