Five intact household electronic items are accepted along with ancillary equipment such as keyboards and routers each month. The items must not be stripped or missing their housing as the sharp edges and exposed components can cause injuries.
You can take paint and electronics, with the exception of the items listed as not accepted, to eligible Community Collection Centers (CCC) during normal operating times. Paint is also accepted at Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection sites, which are operated at various locations, one Saturday per month. Electronics are not accepted at HHW's.
