Recycling

Electronic Waste Recycling

Programs that collect television sets; computer monitors; computers; power supplies; computer keyboards and other peripherals; tape, zip or optical drives; VCR/DVD players; satellite dish receivers; paper shredders; fax machines; telephone equipment; portable electronic devices (e.g., PDAs, PSPs); radios; stereo equipment; clocks; holiday lights; and/or other electronic products that have reached the end of their useful life. The goods may be reused, refurbished and donated to local schools and charities, or broken down into components (e.g., metals, glass, plastics, printed circuit boards) that are either put back into use or recycled. Programs that recycle computers, cell phones or other products with sensitive data may issue certificates of destruction, if required. The items accepted by individual recycling programs may vary.

Hazardous Waste Exchange

Programs that serve as information clearinghouses and link commercial enterprises that want to obtain particular hazardous substances with organizations that want to recycle them. Substances typically exchanged include acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, waxes, metals, metal sludges and other organic and inorganic byproducts of industrial processes. Also included are programs, often connected to hazardous waste collection sites, that allow residents to pick up partially used items such as paint, cleaning supplies, pesticides, home improvement products and automotive fluids that have been dropped off by others.

Residential Recycling Programs

Community-sponsored voluntary or mandatory programs that encourage people in residential settings to recycle reusable resources such as newspaper, glass, plastic and metals such as aluminum, tin and steel which are found in cans. The program may supply recycling containers to participating households and may collect the recyclable materials on a regular basis.
