A free electronic waste recycle event has been organised in Wagener next month. The electronic waste recycle event has been scheduled for Saturday, the 17th of September at 163 Earle Street Wagener. The timings are 9 am to 12 noon. According to Rodney Cooper, Solid Waste Supervisor, this is the beginning of electronic waste recycle events in the county which he hopes will start as a quarterly affair and finally culminate to a monthly. However this electronic waste recycle event is for residential wastes only wherein the waste is handed over to the recycling company.
Under a new state law in South Carolina no person can knowingly discard or dump electronic wastes in landfills. The main purpose is to keep the environment safe by preventing hazardous material from entering the soil and water and to promote electronic waste recycle by diverting useful material to recycling industry.
