E-Cycling

Our "Plugged in" world relies on an ever-growing and constantly changing supply of electronic products. With newer, more hi-tech electronics continuously becoming available to fit our lifestyles, we are replacing older models at rapid rates with no signs of slowing down. As a result, electronics are becoming one of the fastest growing portions of America's trash.

What You Can Do

• Refurbish, fix or upgrade your equipment so you can continue to use it.
• Use old system parts to build a new system.
• Donate your old electronics to a local charity or school for reuse or refurbishing.
• Drop off your old electronics to a local recycling program, such as a municipal or community program or a retail collection program.
