A recycling and shredding event will take place on April 25, offering residents the chance to dispose of electronics, paper, gently used clothing, and housewares. The event is organized by Rep. Tom Mehaffie (R-Dauphin), Sen. Patty Kim (D-Dauphin), and Rep. Dave Madsen (D-Dauphin) from 9 a.m. to noon at the Lower Swatara Volunteer Fire Department in Middletown.
The initiative aims to help local households safely shred sensitive documents, recycle old electronics such as televisions and laptops, and donate items like clothing and housewares for reuse. Organizers say this service is intended for individuals only; businesses are not permitted to participate.
“It’s likely many of my friends and neighbors across Dauphin County are spring cleaning, just like my family is doing. We Middletown-area legislators are happy we could partner to offer these services,” Mehaffie said.
Kim said, “Spring is the perfect time to clear out old paperwork, electronics, clothing, and other items taking up space in our homes. My colleagues and I are so pleased to be able to provide an opportunity to offload all of these items in one convenient spot.”
Madsen added: “I’m excited to invite neighbors to our community spring drop off – a one stop opportunity to securely shred tax and other sensitive documents now that filing season is over, recycle electronics, donate clothing, and safely dispose of household items. Bring what you no longer need to clear out clutter, protect your privacy, and support local families. I look forward to seeing you there.”
Residents with questions about the event can contact Mehaffie’s office at 717-534-1323.
