While the state House is poised to vote on legislation this session that would create a statewide electronic recycling program for computer equipment and televisions, Dauphin County is ahead of the curve, having expanded their twice-annual electronic recycling days to a permanent, full-time recycling center.
Dauphin County residents can now drop off old:
- TVs
- computers
- answering machines
- cell phones
- copiers
- pagers
- radios
- CD players
- printers
- print cartridges
- telephones
- typewriters
- compact fluorescent light bulbs
between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the center off of S. Cameron St. near the Steelton-Harrisburg border, by the Harrisburg Incinerator. Confidential paper shredding service also is available for $5/box.
Beginning in August, the center also will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. one Saturday a month - Aug. 1, Sept. 5, Oct. 3, Nov. 7 and Dec. 5.
The service is FREE for Dauphin County residents. Out-of-county residents can drop off for a fee. For example, a medium-sized TV can be recycled for $20.
