Peters Township has new electronics recycler
Peters Township will again able to haul and recycle residents’ unwanted electronics.
The township has signed an agreement with JVS Environmental of Somerset County, replacing eLoop llc, of Pittsburgh, which discontinued its service late last year.
Residents can drop off their unwanted electronics from noon until 3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the township’s Public Works garage located at the Bebout Road entrance at Peterswood Park. There will be two Saturday drop-days as well, with the first one scheduled for 9 a.m. until noon April 23.
Like before, the service is free to residents of Peters.
Items that can be recycled include phones, answering machines, monitors, televisions, computers, printers, keyboards, modems, routers, scanners, stereos, CD players and recorders, the township said. No appliances will be accepted, which includes microwaves, stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and humidifiers.
South Fayette Township also used eLoop. Since the beginning of the year, South Fayette residents have been directed to the Washington County Fairgrounds, where the Washington County Planning Commission has hosted a monthly electronics recycling service. The service is open to the public and no Washington County residential verification is needed.
Andrea Iglar, South Fayette’s community development director, said the township has been working to find a permanent solution. In the interim, South Fayette residents are being directed to municipalities and others who offer the service to the public through links online at www.southfayettepa.com.
