Recycle Electronics for Free Saturday

Camden County's second e-waste recycling event takes place in Blackwood.

Longing to get rid of that old DVD player? Have a bunch of old cell phones piled in a corner somewhere?

Camden County residents can bring electronics to a recycling event Saturday and get rid of the "e-waste" for free.

More importantly, recycling the materials—which can contain dangerous elements, such as mercury and lead—keeps your electronic waste from polluting the environment.
