Recycling Electronics in PUERTO-RICO: What to Know

💻 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.
