Westmoreland Cleanways Recycling Center must immediately but TEMPORARILY halt the collection of electronics (TVs of all types; computer monitors; computers and peripherals; all other electronics and small appliances) due to a suspected case of COVID-19 at one of the processors where material is shipped. This did NOT happen locally; the Recycling Center is operating under all recommended CDC and Department of Health guidelines.
