Get Rid of Your Old Electronics This Weekend

Do you have an old VCR in your attic? A computer monitor that's seen better days?

Don't just toss them away, recycle them. On Saturday, 's Department of Community and Economic Development will hold an electronic recycling event from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at .

Whether it's an old fax machine, printer, phone or answering machine, residents can drop them off free of charge. The only cost is for getting rid of batteries (75 cents a pound) or fluorescent lamps (25 cents each).

For more information, contact Tom Dittmar, the county's environmental conservation coordinator, at tdittmar@northamptoncounty.org.
