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.

Yard and Kitchen Waste Recycling

Community-sponsored programs which provide for the collection and composting of leaves, grass clippings, tree trimmings and other yard waste as well as food scraps and other waste from the kitchen. Some jurisdictions require that residents bag their leaves while others allow the leaves to be raked into a pile on the side of the road (or the edge of the property) on a designated day when a vacuum truck comes along to collect them. Some communities provide separate receptacles for the collection of yard and kitchen waste, pick up the materials and take them to a facility for composting. Also included are programs that provide home compost bins which enable residents to create mulching materials for their own gardens.
