Electronic Recycling
Beginning January 24th, 2013, a disposal ban on covered devices went into effect in Pennsylvania. From this point forward, no person may dispose of a covered device, or any of its components, with their municipal solid waste. These items are required to either be transferred to certified electronics recycling facilities (if the item is intact) or treated as hazardous waste (if the item has been physically broken and the original components are not intact).

Covered devices include: desktop computers, laptop computers, computer monitors, computer peripherals and televisions. The Township and Northampton County periodically schedules drop off events for acceptance of Electronic Items for recycling.

The Allen Township Electronic Recycling Event (for Township residents only) has been scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2026 - 9am-12pm at the Allen Township - Allen Township Fire Company on 3530 Howertown Road (aka 50 Snowhill Road) Northampton PA 18067.

***There will be a cost to you for disposal for certain locations and items.***
