Electronics Recycling

Many electronics can no longer be put in the trash, instead, they must be recycled as hazardous waste. Electronics contain valuable materials that can be recovered through responsible recycling. Electronics also contain hazardous materials such as lead or mercury, which may be harmful to human health or the environment if not properly disposed of.

The next collection event will take place on Saturday, September 30, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Village Hall, 8811 Campus Drive.
