E-Waste Recycling Event Planned For March 22 In Haverford

HAVERFORD TOWNSHIP, PA — Residents of Haverford Township next month can safely dispose of old and unwanted electronic devices at an e-waste recycling event.

The township is hosting the event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on March 22 at the Haverford Township Administration Building.

PAR-Recycleworks, a local not-for-profit which hires formerly incarcerated men and women to recycle used electronics, is partnering with the township for this free service.

PAR-Recycle Works collects all computer equipment, printers, scanners, tablets, cell phones, telephones, keyboards, speakers, gaming systems, fax machines, DVD players, VCRs, chargers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, air purifiers, microwaves, computer monitors, small appliances, and TVs.

Console or large projection model TVs are not accepted.

PAR-Recycle Works is a first-level processing center for used electronics

Their workers deconstruct the items received and separate them into their major components.

When necessary, they erase all data from hard drives before selling components to environmentally responsible downstream processors.

PAR-Recycle Works has a two-fold mission: working to restore lives by providing job training and transitional paid employment in a supportive environment while also, protecting the planet and assuring that e-waste is re-used and re-purposed.

Sign up for the e-waste recycling event online here.

The Haverford Township Administration Building is located at 1014 Darby Road in Havertown.
