Electronics/Cell Phone Recycling
Electronics recycling includes everything from small devices such as cell phones, digital cameras and ink jet printer cartridges to large devices such as televisions and desktop computers. It is illegal to discard of electronic waste in the trash! Electronics manufacturers are required by law to provide information on how to recycle your equipment free of charge.
