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.
A covered battery-embedded product is a product containing a battery that is not easily removable with common household tools. These products are assessed a fee at point-of-sale (SB 1215) and are now included in the Covered Electronic Waste Recycling Program in California.
The EPA recommends that businesses use third-party certified electronics recyclers (e-Stewards® and/or R2) to manage unwanted used electronics. Use links to find locations with these certifications.
