The event will take place at Parking Lot #1 on Hamilton Avenue directly across the street from the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, and will be held rain or shine.

Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes reminds residents that as of Feb. 17, 2009, television stations, by law, will stop transmitting their analog signal and will transmit only their digital signal. For some people, this may be the opportune time to purchase a new television set. Hughes urges people to take advantage of this Electronic Waste Disposal Day to safely discard their obsolete televisions.
