The City of Phila accepts electronics at their 63rd Street Depot. Household chemicals are accepted at their Domino Lane facility. (And, you get to see how Nutter developed the Ridge Ave Commercial Corridor in his old councilmanic district. Very impressive.) Why not contact the Dept of Streets/Sanitation to see if they employ an environmentally responsible disposal program. I imagine they are compelled to do so by Fed & State law.
Why pay twice, if you are already paying for such services with your City tax dollars. Ciao, Craig In a message dated 6/7/2009 10:00:22 A.M.

Anyone want to send some stuff and split the cost of a phillycarshare ... or perhaps a pedal coop rental?
