SIKESTON -- This may be the biggest and best e-waste recycling event this area has had yet.

E-waste 2014 Recycling Day is scheduled Tuesday, according to Scott County Commissioner Dennis Ziegenhorn.

From 8 a.m. till 3 p.m., electronic items can be dropped off on the rear parking lot of Carnell's Collision Repair. While Carnell's address in 417 North Main, the rear lot is best accessed from Tanner Street.

"We need to have a good turnout if we can get it," Ziegenhorn said. "I hope people will come out, bring their plug-in stuff to the lot behind Carnell's body shop Tuesday and we'll get it out of Scott County."

This event was arranged by the Bootheel Solid Waste Management District which is administered by the Bootheel Regional Planning and Economic Development Commission.
