Hopatcong’s Free Electronics Recycling Day – October 3

If you’ve been meaning to clear out that dusty laptop, a broken tablet, or a stack of old chargers, the wait is finally over. Hopatcong’s Electronics Recycling Day lands on Saturday, October 3, and it’s completely free for anyone living in Sussex County.

The drop‑off runs from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the SCMUA Solid Waste Facility, located at 34 Route 94 in Lafayette. Think of it as a mini‑salvage yard for your unwanted gadgets, but with the added bonus of a tidy, responsible exit for e‑waste.

What can you bring? The list is fairly generous: computers, laptops, tablets, cameras, scanners, televisions (including flat‑screens), speakers, cords, chargers, DVD players, keyboards, printers, modems and a handful of other listed items. Just a heads‑up—large appliances like refrigerators or washing machines aren’t on the menu.

Schools, municipal agencies, and other organizations that need a bit more time can schedule a separate drop‑off on Friday, October 2, according to the event notice. That way, they won’t have to fight the Saturday crowds.

Got questions? Give the county a ring at 973‑579‑6998 or swing by the Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority website for the full scoop on accepted items and any last‑minute updates.

So, grab those old devices, swing by the Lafayette site, and help keep our community clean while giving those gadgets a proper second life. It’s easy, it’s free, and it’s a good excuse to finally declutter that junk drawer.
