Noble Environmental is offering a hazardous household waste and e-waste recycling event in West Deer in March for people to get rid of unwanted electronics or household chemicals not typically picked up by garbage haulers.

The recycling event will take place at the township’s municipal building from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 20. The municipal building is located at 109 East Union Road.

Registration is required. People can register for the event online by going to Noble Environmental’s website at https://nobleenviro.com/or by calling 412-567-6566 to schedule an appointment.

Once a participant is registered, event organizers said, they will receive an email confirmation as well as text and email reminders leading up to the event.

Appointments are required to help reduce traffic flow and wait time, organizers said.

Organizers will only accept credit cards for payment because of the coronavirus pandemic.
