Recycle Your Electronics
Drop off your unwanted electronics for recycling:
* computers & laptops
* monitors & printers
* scanners, keyboards & mice
* TVs, cell phones
We won't accept other kinds of electronics. NYC residents (no businesses allowed*) may drop off material (limit five pieces per vehicle).
All dropped off items will be recycled through contracted vendors; no scavenging will be permitted. Electronics contain hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. Recycling your unwanted electronic equipment keeps these hazardous materials out of the waste stream and the environment.
