2015 Fall Clean-up and Electronics Recycling Day

Recycling Report

Vehicles were lined up over a quarter mile awaiting the start of the 2015 Fall Clean-up and Electronics Recycling Day

On a very cold, rainy, and dreary October 3rd, Dingman Township conducted its annual Fall Clean-up Day.  While the figures are not in for the the rubbish to be landfilled, the recycling numbers are in showing that despite the weather, many residents took advantage of the event.

The heavy rain created a stream between the entry area and the unloading area.

With an hour left to go, this 30 cubic yard container is almost full of electronic items to be recycled.

 

Batteries

Over 5 gallons of consumer batteries and several car batteries were collected for recycling.

 

Mixed Metals and White Goods

Over 30 cubic yards of mixed metals and numerous white goods were collected for recycling.  All freon bearing items will have the freon removed before recycling.

 

Because of everyone who brought these items to the 2015 Fall Clean-up and Electronics Recycling Day these materials will be recycled into useful products rather than buried in a landfill. 

The Dingman Township Board of Supervisors wishes to thank County Waste, the Dingman Township employees, and everyone else who helped make the 2015 Fall Clean-up and Electronics Recycling Day a Success !

The date of the next annual Spring Clean-up and Electronics Recycling Day is tentatively set for May 8, 2016.  Watch the LATEST NEWS section of this website for the announcement and details.
