Electronics
Recycling:
Effective 1/24/13,
State law will make it illegal to dispose of electronic
devices in the trash. All electronic devices must
be recycled.
Dingman Township collects electronic goods (TVs,
computers, video games etc.)for recycling at the Spring and Fall Clean-up Days. See the Calendar of Events page for dates and times.
In addition to Clean-Up Days, cell phones may be
brought to the Township Building for recycling, week
days during business hours.
Pike County also holds an
annual recycling day for electronic goods. The drop off
location varies from year-to-year. Look in the
local newspapers for date, time, and drop off location.
Several Pike County businesses will accept electronic goods for recycling at a nominal fee. One Milford area bank also holds an electronics recycling day. Watch local newspapers for details.
State law requires that
certain dealers of electronic devices provide recycling
services to their customers. Before you buy a new
television, computer, etc., ask if the store will accept
your old one for recycling.
