The mowing tractor that is used to mow the road sides is broken. The tractor is at the repair shop, waiting on parts, which are on backorder. Please understand that the berms may not be mowed for several weeks.
When mowing your grass or ditch, please do not leave the grass on the roadway. This makes a dangerous roadway for motorcycles and bicycles.
Where can I recycle electronics?
Electronics, specifically TVs and computers, were banned from disposal in landfills due to state legislation that also required the companies making the electronics responsible for offering recycling programs. Unfortunately, this has not only created a difficulty for many residents to find electronics recycling programs, but has made recycling electronics very expensive.
Erie County residents do have some options for recycling electronic items; some programs are open to all Erie County residents, but some are only open to residents of a specific municipality. Most programs will require a fee for service.
Free electronics recycling
- Best Buy still accepts some small electronic items, though all Pennsylvania Best Buy stores no longer accept computer monitors and televisions. For specific details, check out the Best Buy Electronics and Appliances Recycling page or call Best Buy at 814-860-8487. Some items are accepted for free; others may require the purchase of a new item or a small fee.
- Goodwill has partnered with Dell to provide free drop-off recycling of any brand of used computer equipment, in any condition. Drop-offs are accepted at Goodwill’s locations in Summit Towne Center, on West 26th Street, or on Nagle Road.
