Hardin County hosting e-scrap collection this Saturday

Hardin County Government, in partnership with AGC Automotive Americas and Tri-State Escrap, will host their annual E-Scrap collection event this weekend.

Hardin County Director of Solid Waste Stephanie Givens says this weekend’s date is a change from the usual April date.

“It will still be at AGC, which is where it’s always been, but it’s going to be on May 10 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and they have changed a little bit,” Givens said.” They’re going to take TVs and computer monitors again this year, where we did not do that last year.”

Items such as speakers, telephones, circuit boards, media, fluorescent tubes, printers, cameras, and as Givens mentioned televisions and computer monitors will be accepted.

“We had a lot of people that brought them because we had always done it before and then they got turned away, so we were able to get a new vendor to help us with this event and they are going to take all the TVs and monitors again this year, so just load those up, come out and see us on that Saturday, and all of these events are free to the general public,” Givens said.

The event is open to Hardin County residents only. No businesses or organizations are permitted. Residents will stay in their vehicle during the event.
