Due to regular waste disposal companies being unable to properly dispose of household electronics, the Commission is taking it upon themselves to do so. By partnering with Tri-State eScrap, Mingo County residents can safely throw away their old devices. We have been blessed this is the second year that we have received a grant from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. They're a covered electronics devices program and we call it CED for short. And we set up here at the courthouse and we allow people to bring those items and more to our collection and we properly dispose of those with our vendor that we have chosen to help us. Items being accepted for recycling include CRT TVs, stereos, computers, cell phones, air conditioners and much more. This event is only for Mingo County residents with a valid ID. The vendor that we work with Tri-State eScrap, they are certified with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection and they do several different things with the devices once they take them depending on what that device is. And yes, they do get recycled in various and sundry ways. This opportunity that we have to work with the DEP and get those things out of people's houses is really a win-win for everybody because you don't have those littering the roadways, the sidewalks in towns and you know people don't have them cluttering their houses. It's completely free to the public because we are grant funded through the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. The only thing that people need to do is they need to bring their ID with them because you have to be a Mingo County resident in order to participate. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
