Electronic waste is hazardous material. Over time, electronics can leak toxic elements like mercury and lead, which can be harmful to the environment and to our community.

Electronics are not collected at the curb and must be managed carefully. 

Some electronics can be returned to their manufacturer, and are also accepted free of charge at many locations in our community.
