What will happen with the recycling program the SEU was exploring?
Many retailers already offer a recycling program and Delawareans are encouraged to take advantage of those programs. The Delaware Solid Waste Authority (DSWA)also provides drop of recycling for non-refrigerant containing appliances. Due to the changes in the federal guidelines, which emphasize appliances that conserve water and energy (versus refrigerators and freezers with refrigerants than can be harmful to the atmosphere if not properly recaptured) – the SEU is not likely to offer an appliance-recycling program. For more information, call DSWA at 1-800-404-7080 or visit their website to learn more. Here are some additional tips for recycling in Delaware.
