Out With The Old At Electronics Recycling Day

Cars and trucks lined up through the Community Center parking lot and out into the street for the first of the county’s free electronics recycling days for 2015. Workers from RNA Worldwide of Belleville hustled to offload computers, televisions, appliances and more from people seeking to get rid of their “e-waste” at the event, held Saturday morning, April 11, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The electronics recycling days are sponsored by the Washington County Health Department and the Washington County Solid Waste Commission. There will be three more free electronics recycling days, also to be held at the same location on June 13, August 8 and October 10.
