Electronics Recycling
The NYS Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act went into effect on April 1, 2011. The law will ensure that every New Yorker will have the opportunity to recycle their electronic waste in an environmentally responsible manner. Got some old electronics? Regardless of where you bought it, what brand it is, or how old it is: bring it to us. We'll make sure it's properly and safely recycled.
Businesses (less than 50 employees), non-profits (less than 75 employees) and residents can now recycle their e-waste at the Agency for FREE during business hours Monday thru Friday! Call the Recycling Hotline for more details.
Residents can also use their local Town Transfer Station to recycling electronics. Participation transfer stations collecting electronics for FREE recycling are Gardiner, Hurley, Marbletown, New Paltz, Rosendale, Saugerties, Shawangunk and Wawarsing.
Retail locations, such as Best Buy, Office Depot and Staples also have a recycling program for electronics. Please call the store directly for further details.
