Electronic Recycling

The Solid Waste Center accepts various electronic equipment for recycling from both households and businesses. For acceptable materials and price lists, scroll down. Electronic equipment contains metals and other materials that can become hazardous to human health and the environment if they are not properly managed.

Additionally, discarded electronic equipment is a concern because electronics are made with valuable resources such as precious metals, engineered plastics, glass and other materials, all of which require energy to manufacture. When equipment is thrown away, these resources cannot be recovered and additional pollution will be generated to manufacture new products out of virgin materials.
