The Authority recommends contacting your municipal recycling coordinator or center for specific details prior to your visit.
The following electronics are accepted: computer monitors, computer towers, laptops, desktop printers, fax machines, TVs including projection, wooden console, tube, flat screen, cell phones, copiers, printers, VCRs, DVD players, radios, computer keyboards, mouse, speakers, networking peripherals, boxes, cables, battery backup systems, stereos (not wooden consoles).
