Morris County Electronics, Hazardous Waste Collection Is Saturday

Dump day is here for those household items you just didn't know how to get rid of. The Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority is giving residents a second chance to unload hazardous and/or e-waste tomorrow in Parsippany.

Hazardous and e-waste includes those boxy computers whose parts couldn't make the transition into the digital age, batteries, pool chemicals, and even stores of used cooking oil. MCMUA will accept old computers en masse, monitors, televisions, and out-of-use printers. They'll take your gasoline, paint thinners, old fluorescent lamps, darkroom materials, and fertilizers as well.

The MCMUA will not accept old tires, empty containers, latex-containing materials, medical waste, or anything that contains unknown materials. For more information on what you can finally get rid of, and what you can't, contact:

Steve Adams, Hazardous Waste Specialist for the MUA Morris County at 973.631.5109 or sadams@mcmua.com.

The drop will happen between 9 AM and 2 PM tomorrow, at the Public Safety Training Academy, located at 500 West Hanover Avenu, in Parsippany. The next and final hazardous waste event in the county for the year will be held in Chatham in early October.

The next one will be in Chatham in October.
