SEATTLE (Recycling Monster): State Rep. Dane Watro and Sen. Dave Argall will co-host an electronics recycling event aimed at helping residents safely dispose of unwanted devices and e-waste in Hazleton later this month.
The collection drive is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the lower parking lot of Regal Cinema at the Laurel Mall.

Payments can be made using cash or credit card on the day of the event.
