The Electronics recycling collection held monthly at the Gambier Kenyon location is on hold for now.  The college is playing things as safely as possible with the current rate of Covid-19 transmission in the county.  The collection will not be staffed until further notice.  Please do not leave electronics at the site as this is considered illegal dumping, and is punishable by law.

The DKMM office will be closed on the following dates in order to observe the holidays:

Thursday, November 26th and Friday, November 27th
Thursday, December 24th and Friday, December 25th
