MARPLE NEWTOWN, PA – Hey Marple and Newtown residents, do you have old electronics that are only causing clutter and collecting dust? If so, you're going to want to keep some free time open on May 20 as the two townships, along with Haverford Township, are hosting a free community electronics recycling event.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 20, you can bring all those unused and old electronics to Delaware County Community College, 901 S. Media Line Road in Media, for a free "Anything with a Plug"recycling event.

Not only can residents of the three townships use the service, small businesses with 50 employees or fewer can also recycle electronics on that day.

Smoke detectors and large appliances, such a refrigerators, projection TVs, and wooden console TVs, will not be accepted.

Acceptable items include cell phones, microwaves, computers, TVs, printers, air conditioners, laptops, cameras, and other smaller electronics.
