After a law change, Bucks County is gearing up to sponsor its only electronic collection event for 2015.
Bucks County will join the Yardley Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) and E-Waste Experts Inc. to conduct an electronic collection event this Saturday, April 25. The event will be held from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Lower Makefield Corporate Center South Campus, located at 770 Township Line Road in Yardley.

The new law, which makes it extremely difficult for the county and others in southeastern Pennsylvania to host it’s own event, helps to regulate electronic disposal with even stricter guidelines, according to officials.
The event will allow residents to dispose of cell phones, computers, laptops, televisions, radios, wires, cables, CDs, video games and other household electronic waste items in a safe and legal way. Items with freon, like air conditioners or refrigerators, will not be accepted. Materials from businesses, industries or institutions will not be accepted.
Residents are advised that collection will not take place at Buttonwood Park during the event, instead all residents will be directed to the event on Township Line Road.
