Electronics Recycling

Remember, DO NOT put any

electronics in your recycle carts.

This is crucial to ensure proper

recycling as well as the safety of our employees. 

All of our locations, with the exception of the unstaffed trailer at Ingleside, are equipped with trained professionals who are capable of safely and proficiently handling electronic equipment and preparing it for transportation to a nearby electronics recycling facility.

Why Recycle Electronics?

 Electronics contain heavy metals, including lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium that can be harmful if released into the environment. Recycling of electronics ensures these materials are safely managed and that valuable materials such as steel, glass, and plastic, as well as precious metals such as copper, gold, tin, silicon, and aluminum are reclaimed for the manufacturing of new products. Reusing and recycling raw materials from electronic waste conserves natural resources and avoids air and water pollution while saving landfill space.

Don't Place Electronics in the Recycling Cart

 All of our collection trucks compact materials collected at curbside. Most electronic devices contain lithium batteries, which can explode upon compaction and catch fire. This is extremely dangerous and requires special means to extinguish the fire.  Please do not put electronic devices in any curbside cart for the safety of our employees and the environment. 

Security of Computer Hard Drives 

Hard drives collected are shredded for other uses. We use an electronic recycler that is certified as a responsible e-cycler as well as offers a certificate of destruction for any devices that require such care.
