The council charges a $5 fee for large appliances to cover the cost of transporting the appliances to the recycler, according to Co- chairmen Dave Abod and Richard Boice. The $5 fee was not charged for small appliances such as toasters and blenders of for scrap metal. “We tried to do this type of pro- gram in 1988, but due to new regulations imposed by the Envi- ronmental Protection Agency, we had to cancel the program,” said Boice in a press release. Boice said help from Myers and Saba Scrap Dealers aided in making this years collection possible. The idea behind the program is to prevent the dumping of appli- ances along the roadways and in the fields. “We believe area resi- dents need an outlet for these items,” said Abod.”"And we hope this program will stop these units from ending up in farmers’ fields and along our road sides.” EVAC expressed thanks to Bor- ough Council President Ed Kelly, Councilman Billy Wilson, and all the members of EVAC for volun- teering their time for the project.
