Residents in Delaware County face challenges in responsibly recycling electronics, especially items like televisions that often come with additional recycling fees. Reworld™, which owns and operates a sustainable waste solutions facility in Chester and an electronics waste processing facility in Philadelphia, is committed to being a good neighbor to the communities it serves. The collection event will not only provide the greater Chester community with a free method for recycling e-waste, but also serve as a fundraiser for the nearby STEM Academy.
