Recycling Electronics This Holiday SeasonWith holiday cheer and gifts galore, many of you will give or receive new electronic equipment. As you switch out of the old and welcome the new, please remember to recycle your old electronics responsibly. Examples of common electronic equipment that must be recycled:
It is illegal to dispose these and other covered electronic equipment (CEE) in the trash under New York's electronic waste law. How to recycle electronics: Manufacturers of CEE are required to provide consumers a free and convenient opportunity to recycle their equipment or one piece of CEE from another manufacturer with the purchase of the same type. Depending on a specific manufacturer's acceptance program, CEE recycling/reuse opportunities may include: permanent collection locations, local collection events, mailback programs, or at-home pickup (when no other free and convenient option is offered).
