There's only so much cleaning up and organizing a person can do when a big bulk of the stuff taking up space are big items not generally accepted as trash or that are recyclable but come with a hefty price tag for disposal.

When we moved into our new house in Brackney, we discovered that the old owners buried things like tires and old television sets in the yard. So, we've been digging out random buried trash for the last few years and have amassed quite a collection of things that aren't usually accepted at the Susquehanna County Recycling Center.

If you live in Susquehanna County, the Susquehanna County Recycling Center on Ellsworth Drive in Montrose will be hosting a residential electrics recycling event on Friday, June 10 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday, June 11 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

You will have to show proof of residency (such as your driver's license) but for those two days only, June 10 and 11, the Susquehanna County Recycling Center will accept (a reasonable amount - not a whole truckload) household (no businesses) electronics absolutely free of charge.

The items that will be accepted for recycling are:
Cell phones

Televisions (all types but they must be whole)
Microwaves
