The East Montgomery County Improvement District will host an Electronics Recycling Event Saturday, September 8 at the EMCID parking lot. Many electronics are not accepted by waste collection companies because they have hazardous materials. However, with the help of CompuCycle, we’ll accept your electronics and recycle them! A time for the event will be announced later this summer.
