Items containing refrigerants cost $15 each to recycle.
E-waste you can recycle for FREE include computers and monitors, laptops, cell phones, VCR's, TV sets, DVD players, CD players, MP3 players, adaptors and chargers, batteries (HHW), radios, telephones, digital watches, digital cameras, calculators, joysticks, game accessories, video gaming systems, hand-help gaming systems, printers, scanners, and other computer equipment such as external hard drivers.
Not sure if it's recyclable? Call 775-3000 and ask us!
Reason for the Event:
It is illegal to dispose of e-waste in the trash or recycle bins and most curbside recycling services only accept large item pickups once a year.
Many people are not aware that these cumbersome and potentially hazardous products may be recycled without cost at SVSWA facilities.
SVSWA wants to help the community realize the importance of proper disposal of these items to promote personal and environmental health and a future without landfills for the Salinas Valley.
