Customers must strictly adhere to the 30 day advance request in order to exercise this privilege.

Electronic Disposal: - Beginning January 1, 2013, due to the Covered Device Recycling Act (Act 108 of 2010) or CDRA, residents cannot dispose of a covered device or any of its components with their municipal waste at curbside. Covered devices include desktop and notebook computers, computer monitors, computer peripherals and televisions marketed and intended for use by consumers.
