Kelly Bohrer, the program specialist for education and community outreach, said that with electronics, if they still work, donate them to a loved one.
If the electronic device doesn’t work anymore, it can be recycled at their facility, said Bohrer.
“Especially if they have lithium-ion batteries that can spark fires when they’re crushed by trucks or even crushed through the transfer station or the landfill process,” said Bohrer.
The Montgomery County Solid Waste facility will open at 6 a.m. and is free for all Montgomery County residents.
