Pender County to receive electronics grant

BURGAW- Pender County Solid Waste will receive a grant from North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ).

“The grant of $3,673.81 is from the Electronics Management Fund,” said Kenny Keel, director of Pender County Utilities and Solid Waste.

The purpose of the grant is to manage discarded computer equipment, televisions, and other electronic devices.

Customers are reminded to only dispose of electronics in the proper containers at Hampstead, Rocky Point, Burgaw, and Willard Solid Waste Convenience Centers.

All convenience center sites can receive batteries of any type. Please dispose of any batteries in the proper area only.

Keel said the county spends an average of $200,000 per year for the proper disposal of electronics. This cost is mostly covered through payment of recycle and full use stickers purchased on a property owner’s tax bill.

Recruiting neighborhood volunteers for CERT program

PENDER COUNTY – Pender County will host an informational session about the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) on Jan. 14, beginning at 2:30 p.m. at the Hampstead Annex, 15060 US Hwy 17.

“The CERT program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations,” said Tom Collins, Pender County Emergency Manager.

“CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, which allows them to focus on more complex tasks,” said Walter Makaryk, a CERT leader. “Through CERT, the capabilities to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters is built and enhanced.”

Anyone interested in learning about CERT should attend the Jan. 14 meeting.

“CERT volunteers are extremely important,” said Makaryk. “They are the neighborhood responders who inform emergency services of downed trees and power lines. They check on their neighbors following a disaster. They are the conduit to retrieve assistance for their neighborhood.”

Read about the CERT program at www.ready.gov/cert.
