Electronic Recycling


   

The Household Hazardous Waste Facility accepts cell phones, computers and as of July 1, 2008, televisions (free of charge) from Lancaster County residents as part of the Authority's E-cycling program. Residents can also bring in cell phone accessories and computer-associated items such as monitors, printers and keyboards. No VCR or DVD players or external speakers are accepted.

Computers & Televisions
Each computer and television monitor can contain 5-7 pounds of lead and other metals that are better recycled than put in a landfill.  Residents can bring their computers and televisions in free of charge; small businesses are assessed a $5 fee for each computer component (monitor or CPU) or television after the first 10 units.

NOTE:  Businesses must call the Authority for an appointment.

Cell Phones
Cell phones are sent to a company for refurbishment and resale. Those that can’t be resold are recycled.
