Recycling Electronics in Massachusetts: What to Know
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.

Is it free to recycle electronics?
Many devices (computers, phones, small electronics) are accepted free, but CRT and large-screen TVs often carry a fee because they are costly to process. Confirm fees before you drive over.

Yes. Back up and factory-reset phones and computers, and remove storage drives where possible. Some recyclers offer certified data destruction — ask if you need a certificate.
