Alamo Begins E-Scrap Initiative

The City of Alamo has partnered with RDA Technologies of Brownsville to expand our recycling capabilities with a new Electronic Waste (E-Scrap) program beginning in August 2015. The program will allow residents to turn in various electronics to the city where they will be safely recycled, providing a safer and cleaner city for all.

The program is one of many new green initiatives created by the City of Alamo in an effort to promote a more eco-friendly and sustainable city. The City of Alamo is dedicated to always improving and this initiative is one of many.
