Dump Your Old Electronics – Free!

Livingston County Solid Waste Program has a one-day collection coming up next Saturday, October 29th, from 9am to 2pm. No appointment is necessary, just bring your old computer equipment, televisions and peripherals, stereos, cameras, fax machines, gaming systems for drop off and proper disposal. The collection is at the County’s East Complex, 2300 E. Grand River (48843) at Chilson.


They also accept old cell phones, but drop those off at my office for the ‘Cell Phones For Soldiers’ campaign. We’ve collected over 2500 cell phones so far!

This event is free to County residents, and includes small businesses with 10 or fewer employees. Many hazardous substances can be found in electronics and this proper disposal will keep those contaminants out of landfills where they might filter back into ground water.

For more information, call 517-545-9609, or visit the website at http://www.co.livingston.mi.us/SolidWaste/
