Electronics Recycling
 
Various parts of popular electronic devices may contain dangerous heavy metals, including lead, silver, barium, cadmium, chromium and mercury.  CVWMA's electronics recycling program helps citizens properly dispose of unwanted equipment instead of landfilling them where they could cause soil, water or air contamination.  Click here for more info.  Equipment collected in this program will be demanufactured for recycling. Some components may be refurbished for continued use.

Drop-off Locations and Dates
 
CVWMA and our member communities offer a variety of opportunities to recycle unwanted electronics.  Saturday events are held periodically around the region.  Permanent collection points have also been established in two CVWMA localities; we hope to offer more permanent collection points in the future.  Some items require a fee for collection.  Refer to the list at the bottom of the page.
