Recycle electronics

Lafayette — Don’t throw away all that unwanted junk mail, scrap paper and old letters. Shred them! The Sussex County MUA will host its monthly shredding service for Sussex County residents and businesses on Friday, Aug. 17. SK Shred, a mobile document destruction company, will be at the SCMUA solid waste facility in Lafayette from 9 a.m. to noon. You can shred all that unwanted paper by the boxful. The cost is $5 per box, up to 40 pounds. There is no limit to the number of boxes an individual can shred.
