Where Can I Recycle Electronic Waste?

Hi Green Philly,

I was wondering if you know of any collection events coming up soon to collect TVs and other electronic waste that we can’t put out curbside. 

Thanks, Bala Cynwyd Resident

Dear Bala Cynwyd Resident,

Electronic waste can be difficult to get rid of because of the potential hazard this kind of waste poses. Luckily there are options for people living in or outside of Philadelphia.

Recycling e-waste outside of Philadelphia

For folks residing outside of Philadelphia, a good choice for e-waste is eForce Recycling. They specialize in the safe and responsible recycling of electronic devices and materials that are difficult to recycle such as electronics, construction materials, and furniture.

eForce has several upcoming collection events with times and locations throughout the metro area.

RECYCLING E-WASTE In PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia residents have the option of using one of the city’s six sanitation convenience centers around the city. These centers can take trash as well as materials that can’t be picked up curbside. Check out the full list of convenience centers around the city on the Streets Department website here.
