Warminster Township Holding Electronics Recycling Event

Warminster Township is sponsoring an electronics recycling event on Saturday, May 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Warminster Community Park (use the 350 E. Bristol Road entrance).

The event is open to the public.

The following items will be accepted free of charge: laptops, desktops, tablets, printers, scanners, fax machines, cell phones, keyboards, iPods, MP3 players, Fitbits, VCRs, DVD players, cords, game systems, etc. All computer drives are safely wiped clean.

A fee will be charged for the following items to ensure they are properly recycled:

• 19” and smaller CRT TVs/monitors are $30/each; 20” to 40” are $45/each; 41” and larger $65/each.
• A/C units and dehumidifiers/humidifiers are $15/each.
• Microwaves are $5/each.

This event benefits PAR-RecycleWorks, a non-profit organization supporting ex-offenders as they transition into the workforce.

Taking the electronic waste and other recyclables provided by residents, faith-based organizations, corporate and educational partners, PAR-RecycleWorks deconstructs the items, recycles the materials and disposes of the waste safely and cleanly. The scrap metals and other reusable materials collected in this process are then sold to help pay for salaries and job skill development for formerly incarcerated men and women to support their productive re-entry back into society.
