On the heels of our electronics recycling collection program expansion at the Solid Waste Transfer Station, we're expanding electronics recycling in Montgomery County even further: we're taking it on the road!
To help you recycle your items as easily as possible, we scheduled electronics drop-off events at local Park-N-Ride Lots. We have three on our calendar at the moment, and will update you as additional events are announced.
From our mailbag:
How do I dispose of an old console television?
We checked with our Transfer Station colleagues to see whether it would be accepted there for recycling. And, the answer is... yes, console televisions are accepted for recycling in our new television recycling program.
If you cannot transport the console television to the Transfer Station, and if you receive Montgomery County-provided trash service, then you may request a curbside bulk trash collection for this item. The tradeoff is that while the television would be collected at your curb, it would not be recycled.
Thanks for asking! Confirming the answer gave our Call Center staff and me the opportunity to expand our own knowledge. And, as a result of your question, I have updated our television page to include console televisions. So, dear readers, keep your questions coming!
Montgomery County does not recycle televisions.
That's right - our recycling program has just expanded! Montgomery County has a brand-new television recycling program at our Solid Waste Transfer Station.
The television recycling containers are located next to the fenced computer recycling area:
After just a few days of operation, many boxes have already been filled with televisions! The attendants at the Transfer Station are doing a great job of notifying residents of our new program when they spot televisions in the material those folks are unloading.
