Residents can help protect the environment by pitching unwanted computers, cell phones, televisions and other electronic items at Mt. Lebanon's first-ever Electronics Recycling Event, to be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Public Works facility on Lindendale Drive.
JVS Environmental will recycle the items, keeping toxic heavy metals away from landfills and natural areas.
Items accepted without cost will include: computer central processing units; laptop computers; keyboards; computer mice; radio equipment; telephones; desktop copiers and scanners; cell phones; household appliances without Freon; and lead acid automobile batteries.
JVS will charge $4 to recycle computer monitors and $1 per inch of screen size for televisions. It also will destroy data and digital media to protect privacy.
