GOSHEN – Orange County will resume its Electronics Waste Recycling program at Newburgh and New Hampton Solid Waste Transfer Stations on Monday, July 16th.

Along with televisions, the Transfer Stations will accept printers, fax machines, computer monitors and towers, scanners, small servers, cables/wires, laptops, cell and smart phones, tablets, video game consoles, DVD players, VCRs, and digital music players.
