The Slatington Borough Council is hoping to bring electronics recycling services to the borough. The issue was raised by Councilman David Schnaars at the March meeting. The council has received quotes from two companies.

Responsible Recycling Services from Kutztown quoted the borough a fee of approximately $200 and includes three pickup hours, Tuesdays through Thursdays. Residents would not be required to pay for these recycling services except in the case of certain items. The RRS website lists these items as CDs, DVDs, VHS, household batteries and light bulbs. The complete list of accepted and extra-cost appliances are listed at
