Electronics Recycling

Did you know that a typical computer monitor contains 5-8 lbs. of lead? Or that mercury, cadmium, arsenic and other toxic metals inside a computer can eventually leach into the groundwater if it is buried in a landfill? Moreover, the plastics and metals from which electronics are made will remain in a landfill for hundreds of years to come.

If you have electronics to be recycled, don’t let them end up in a landfill!

Most electronics are acceptable for recycling (excludes items containing Freon — air conditioners, dehumidifiers, refrigerators and other appliances).

COST: $15 per Television;$15 per Monitor

See the list below to find out where you can recycle your electronic items.
