The Environment Education Committee provides information to enhance the economic vitality of the tri-county region. They provide relevant articles for the Chamber’s newsmagazine, the Route 422 Business Advisor, organize the Annual Business Equipment Recycling Day, and complete other appropriate projects throughout the program year.
Business Equipment Recycling Day
Every fall, the committee plans an “e-cycling” event for Chamber Member companies to recycle their used business equipment such as computers, fax machines, cell phones and similar office supplies at no charge. Contact the Chamber at 610.326.2900 for more information or to register.
