Electronics Recycling

Electronics Recycling Collection

Electronics recycling has boomed with the Authority in the past few years. It is our most popular special collection. With the amount of material collected annually, and the need to build a building just for this collection, e-recycling thrives in Cambria County!

Why recycle electronics?	The following items are collected for recycling:
More and more electronic devices are being shunned from landfills due to potentially hazardous contest. From lead solder to mercury in TV screens, it is more difficult to accept them at landfills. A much safer alternative is to recycle used electronic devices so that hazardous materials can be handled safely and recyclable parts made into various products that we use every day.

Although we can not provide 100% security, you can feel quite safe with us. All materials are locked in our storage building, with the only key accessible by Authority employees. The grounds are patrolled 24/7 and nobody has access but us. When transporting the material to the processing facility, they are loaded on the truck which does not stop until they get to the final destination.
