Disposal of computer monitors require a $10 fee. The electronic waste will be recycled through A Plus Industries of Allentown, PA. Documentation of secure disposal will be provided upon request.
The E-waste collection will be followed by organic lunch and several speakers on green topics such as permaculture, living roofs, green building, green landscaping, and much more!

Local farmers, artists, and earth-friendly vendors, many of whom work with Kimberton Whole Foods, will offer displays and demonstrations. There will be face painting, local music, beekeeping demonstrations, candle making, and a raffle for a mountain bike.
Afternoon festivities go from 12 pm to 4 pm. Lots to do and lots to learn. Join us…all are welcome to this free event to promote “green” living. See you there!
