The West Cape May Environmental Commission is facilitating a Drive Through Electronic Waste Recycling Collection on May 22nd in the West Cape May Borough Hall parking lot.  They are encouraging the community to begin saving their electronic waste in advance of the event. This is a great time to get rid of your old TV, computer, or printer responsibly by recycling it. The event will run from 9 am-2 pm, rain or shine.  This free, one-day event is open to all.  Schools, businesses, and homeowners are encouraged to participate. You do not have to be a resident of West Cape May to bring your electronic waste for recycling.  You do not have to get out of your car to drop off your electronic waste. Once you drive in, you will be prompted to open your trunk and the team will take the electronic waste out of your car. The team will be wearing masks and adhering to all Covid regulations. Items to be recycled MAY NOT be dropped off at West Cape May Borough Hall prior to 9 am on May 22nd. West Cape May Borough Hall is located at 732 Broadway, West Cape May.

Items acceptable for recycling include cell phones, computers, modems, laptops, computer monitors, televisions (flat screen and big old CRT TVs), desktop printers, desktop fax machines, and strings of holiday lights. Please make sure batteries are removed from devices like remotes and keyboards. White items such as microwaves, stoves, washers, and dryers WILL NOT be accepted. Working with Green Chip Recycling, all electronic waste will be securely transported to their facility and recycled compliant with R2, ISO14001, and OSHA regulations.  Items do not have to be “wiped clean” of files. All recycled items will be recycled in accordance with state and federal laws and all data storing devices will be destroyed within R2, Department of Defense (DoD), and National Institute of Technology (NIST) standards.
