Effort to collect electronics for recycling sees good turnout

DANVILLE – Deb Martin expected that a recycling collection held over the weekend, would draw a fair number of people eager to dispose of their old computers, televisions and other electronics in an environmentally friendly way.

But she didn't expect to see cars and trucks filling the parking lot of the Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. building and spilling into Voorhees Street when the event began at 9 a.m. Friday.
