JUNIATA COUNTY HOSTING ELECTRONICS COLLECTION DAY – M

Electronics Collection Day began in 2014 and has been well received by Juniata County residents. It provides a convenient recycling resource to Juniata County residents to properly dispose of their unwanted electronics. Since 2017, residents have brought more than 78,000 pounds of electronics to the three-hour event. In 2018, two box trucks were filled so quickly, the district has since reserved three box trucks to help ensure no resident is turned away. In the last two years, 91 percent of the county’s municipalities were represented at the event.
The Juniata County Conservation District secures the services of Responsible Recycling Services (RRS) in Kutztown, PA using state reimbursements received for the county’s annual recycling performance. RRS’ mission to reduce landfill waste and protect natural resources aligns well with the mission of the conservation district. They have always provided professional and efficient service. JCCD staff guide traffic and confirm registration. RRS staff collects any fees applied and safely unloads the recyclables from the residents’ vehicles. CDC guidelines are closely followed. Participants are asked to wear a mask, remain in the vehicle at all times, and have exact payment or a check payable to RRS prepared.
