Electronics (e-waste) include computers, laptops, phones, tablets, TVs, monitors, printers and small appliances. They contain recoverable metals plus hazardous components, so most states steer them to dedicated recyclers rather than the trash.

Types of Electronics & How They're Recycled

💻 Computers & laptops
Widely accepted, usually free. Back up and factory-reset first; remove the drive if you want to keep it.
📱 Phones & tablets
Taken by drop-off centers and buyback kiosks. Wipe data and remove SIM/SD cards.
📺 TVs & monitors
CRT and large flat-screens often carry a recycling fee because leaded glass and panels are costly to process.
🖨️ Printers & peripherals
Printers, keyboards, cables and routers are accepted at most e-waste sites.

How to Prepare Electronics

  • Back up your data, then factory-reset phones and computers before drop-off.
  • Remove or physically destroy storage drives if the data is sensitive — or ask for certified data destruction.
  • Keep batteries with the device unless the site says otherwise; loose lithium batteries sometimes need a separate bin.
  • Call ahead about TVs and monitors — many sites charge a per-unit fee for CRT and large screens.
