Electronics Disposal

The Recycling Center strives to recycle as many materials as possible. Unfortunately, because of the bulk and labor involved with processing, some items have a small fee attached to them.

As electronics are constantly replaced with newer and better ones, consumers are left wondering what to do with their old items. The Recycling Center accepts all types of electronic waste (e-waste) from televisions and stereos to computers and keyboards. These types of equipment contain various heavy metals that we do not want in our landfills.

In an effort to reduce the amount of toxic materials and heavy metals placed in the landfill, the Recycling Center offers an environmentally-friendly option for disposal.
