Electronics - Non-working
Non-working electronics are defective or broken items with one or more circuit boards, computer chips, and/or a video display.
Household Hazardous Waste
This item should never be put in a curbside bin. For more information visit our household hazardous waste page.
Consider refurbishing or repairing ewaste before recycling. Find repair information, manuals and videos through the manufacturer, YouTube, iFixit, and repair specialists. Designate a box to accumulate broken electronics over time.
The EPA recommends that businesses use third-party certified electronics recyclers (e-Stewards® and/or R2) to manage unwanted used electronics.
