ABERDEEN TOWNSHIP— The Township Department of Public Works is now accepting electronics for recycling from residents, small businesses and other institutions throughout Monmouth County at its public works yard on Lenox Road off Cliffwood Avenue.
Accepted items include computer monitors, keyboards, scanners, CPUs, televisions, radios, telephones, modems, hard drives, laptops, stereos, VCRs, fax machines, copy machines and printers.
State law prohibits disposal of televisions and computers with regular trash.
“Consumer electronics and computer equipment contain potentially hazardous metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury that may cause problems if disposed of improperly,” Aberdeen Township Director of Public Works Bob Brady explained in a press release.
The Public Works garage is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
