David Junger, Assistant City Manager for Public Works reports that 1313 vehicles came through, 252 televisions were recycled and enough electronics were recycled to fill approximately six 54-foot tractor trailers. Thanks to the members of the Waste Management Advisory Board, DHS students and other volunteers, and the employees of Public Works for such a successful recycling effort. Think of all the electronics that were kept out of the landfill!
