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.

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.
