OTHER RECYCLING PROGRAMS OR REUSE OPTIONS: There are also some corporate electronic recycling programs available. Click here to learn more! Or.........If your computer works and is relatively up-to-date, consider computer reuse options.

NOTE: Residents may choose to discard individual computer components (though NOT monitors) as trash or, in the case of many CPUs, as scrap metal. (Businesses should contact CSWD regarding computer disposal regulations.) Below are some points to consider when making your decision.

WHY RECYCLE ELECTRONICS?

• Conserve resources including non-renewable precious metals, petroleum products, energy, and more!
• Save landfill space -- An estimated 60 million computers will be deemed obsolete this year in the U.S.
• Reduce hazards by keeping potentially hazardous materials out of landfills.
• Promote jobs in the reuse & repair industry.
• Help close the "digital divide" by making computer & electronic equipment available to lower income families.

WHY IS THERE A FEE?

• Time and skilled labor are required to collect, transport, sort, and repair equipment.
• The reuse value of the equipment may be less than the cost of handling and repairing.
• Some parts (esp. older monitors) have an associated cost for dismantling and recycling.
