Throw out your electronic waste Feb. 25 at the Brimfield recycling center

- Wendy DiAlesandro ,

The Portage County Recycling Center will host an electronic waste drop-off from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 25 at 3588 Mogadore Road in Brimfield.

The turn-off from County Road 18 to Mogadore Road is closed because of construction, so Brimfield Trustee Nic Coia advises motorists to head to state Route 43, then west on Old Forge Road, then north on Mogadore Road. Coming from Old Forge, the center is about a half-mile up on your right.

Acceptable items include computer pieces and parts, cell phones, printers, network equipment, game consoles, cameras and other e-waste. There will be a $10 charge for CRT monitors and television sets, and a $5 charge for printers. Other items are free.

Around Brimfield: How to help your community, even when you're snowed in

- by Shirley Mars. - by Ben Wolford’s thoughtful comments about “values that we should be able to agree on” reminded me of why I allowed him to talk me into reviving the Around Brimfield column a few years ago. Freedom, safety, respect, dignity, decency, diversity and seeing others as neighbors – I share those values and find comfort in knowing that most of The Portager readers share them as well. If we are to “hold the line” as Ben suggests, we cannot be complacent or naïve.
