Recycling Your Electronics the Green Way

Did Santa bring you that new computer, television, phone, game console, or kitchen appliance, or other electronic items for Christmas? Congrats! But that probably means you have a few old electronics (called e-waste) that are ready to be retired to the electronic graveyard. When it comes to disposing of old electronics, there are proper ways to do so.

You can bring your old or unwanted electronics to any of our five Green Stations for FREE to be recycled! Find out their location and when they are open at MyDoRight.com.

It is important to remember that you should never put your electronics in the curbside recycling cart. But above all else, never illegally dump your electronic waste, or any waste for that matter, outside. We all see those illegal dump sites on the side of the road and out in nature, but that does not mean they are safe or legal options. Dump sites are a crime scene and e-waste contain hazardous materials like lead and mercury. These chemicals are detrimental to human health and the environment. That is why e-waste should always be disposed of properly to help preserve our health, natural resources, and local wildlife.

Below are some electronic waste items accepted at Green Stations:

Computers and Accessories – Desktops, Laptops, Tablets, Monitors and Displays, Servers,

Keyboards and Mice, Hard Drives, and Switches

Office Equipment – Copiers, Printers, Fax Machines, Surge Protectors, and Typewriters

Audio/Video Equipment – Televisions, DVD Players, Game Systems, VCRs, Stereos, Cameras, and Radios

Handheld Devices – Mobile Phones, Pagers, Calculators, PDAs, and Two-Way Radios
