ELECTRONIC WASTE RECYCLING
Keep Electronics Out of Your Trash
Old or unwanted electronics need separate disposal. Please arrange recycling through a program that accepts your devices.
WHAT IS E-WASTE?
Electronics You No Longer Use
Electronic waste, often called e-waste, includes unwanted devices such as computers, televisions, printers, and audio equipment.
Many electronics can be reused, refurbished, or recycled through an appropriate collection program.
Disposal Ban – The Covered Device Recycling Act
Since January 24, 2013, Pennsylvania’s Covered Device Recycling Act (CDRA) has prohibited the disposal of covered devices and their components in municipal solid waste. These materials must be recycled rather than sent to landfills or other solid waste disposal facilities for disposal.
Covered devices include desktop and laptop computers, computer monitors, computer peripherals, and televisions. Residents and businesses must keep these devices out of their regular trash.
