Freeport Area Hosting Recycling Event


Residents of Butler and Armstrong Counties looking to recycle electronics will have the chance to do so this weekend.

An e-waste collection is planned for Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Freeport Middle School in Sarver. Organizers with the Pennsylvania Resources Council and the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania request participants wear face coverings and stay in their vehicles.

Televisions, computer monitors and printers will be accepted for a fee. Other items can be disposed of at no cost such as cell or home phones, computer towers, and other equipment like laptops, DVD players, and video game consoles.

Advance registration is required by visiting the website of the Pennsylvania Resources Council or by calling 412-488-7490 extension 3.
