On Saturday, the county is providing a place to bring your old paint, other hazardous materials and high-tech trash.
What’s hidden in your garage? Oil-based paint? A car battery? Photo developing chemicals?

Livingston recycles tons and tons of old gadgets.

Stacks of TVs, computers and hard drives were wrapped up and hauled to a Newark warehouse, where they will be repaired, taken apart, or crushed to destroy any personal information. The discarded electronics are a byproduct of the digital age. Newer, faster and cheaper gadgets come on the market every few months. Once unplugged, the problem becomes what to do with last year's model. Landfills are filled with millions of obsolete computers and TVs. …
