With not many places left to take old electronics, Schuylkill County officials are still hoping to have an electronic collection at its annual Fall Cleanup event despite receiving no bids for the project.
According to the Republican Herald, the annual recycling event provides an opportunity once a year for county residents to drop off tires, electronics, appliances, scrap metal and bulky items at various times and sites throughout the county over the course of two weeks.
This year it is scheduled for Sept. 16-26 at 13 sites and is funded through the county commissioners and the state Department of Environmental Protection, which reimburses the county up to 50 percent of the costs.
A decision is expected to be made this week whether or not electronics will be collected during the Fall Cleanup.
