Where can I recycle electronics in Hanover, PA?
The Penn Township Recycling Drop Off Center (1020 Wilson Ave) offers free electronics recycling to all York County residents under Pennsylvania's Covered Device Recycling Act (Act 108). Accepted items include computers, TVs (limit 5 per visit), phones, printers, and audio/video equipment. The center is open Tue 8 AM–4:15 PM, Thu 10 AM–6 PM, and Sat 8 AM–3 PM.
Does Staiman Recycling in Hanover accept aluminum cans and cardboard?
Yes to both. Staiman buys aluminum (cans, extrusions, siding, and sheet) for cash. Corrugated cardboard is accepted at no charge but the facility does not pay for it. Verify current prices by calling (717) 646-0951.
Can Hanover-area residents who are not in Penn Township use the Wilson Ave drop-off center?
General recyclables (cardboard, paper, glass, plastics, scrap metal) are for Penn Township residents. Electronics recycling, however, is open to all York County residents — so if you live elsewhere in York County you can still drop off e-waste there free of charge.
Can I bring my old refrigerator or air conditioner to either Hanover recycling center?
Penn Township's drop-off center explicitly does not accept anything containing Freon at its scrap metal dumpster, including refrigerators, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers. Staiman Recycling lists appliances as accepted on its services page, but confirm by calling (717) 646-0951 before bringing a Freon-containing unit.
