Electronics Recycling

Computer and home theater components are made of different materials and require diverse disposal efforts. Some trash hauling companies will not take those components. These components can be recycled through a variety of drop-off locations and take-back programs. A good place to start is by checking with your computer’s manufacturer, or the retailer you purchased it from to see what kind of take-back or trade-in options might be available.
