We have received numerous calls from WV landfills, garbage haulers, Solid Waste Authorities, and individuals as to where to take discarded televisions. PCRenewal is not currently accepting televisions as we are unable to find a recycler. We would like to direct you to the original sponser of Senate Bill 398, Senator Karen L. Facemyer. As she is the creator of this bill, we would urge you to contact her for the solution to the problem that currently exists. She can be reached by:

ARTICLE 15A. THE A. JAMES MANCHIN REHABILITATION ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION PLAN.
