Can You Recycle Electronics?
No
Not curbside — use e-waste recycling
Why
Electronics contain valuable metals and hazardous components. They require dedicated e-waste processing, and many states ban them from landfills entirely.
How to dispose of electronics
- Take them to an e-waste drop-off, retailer take-back, or county collection event
- Wipe personal data from anything with storage first
- Many electronics retailers accept old devices regardless of where you bought them
Greener option
Working devices are worth more donated or sold than recycled.
♻️ Recycling rules vary by city and hauler — when in doubt, check your local program. You can look up your area on our trash & recycling schedules page.
