Its the Law!
It is against state law to dispose of TVs, computers, monitors and laptops in the garbage.
Recycling options exist!
Lane County participates in the state-wide collection program for E-Cycles, offering FREE recycling at five Lane County's transfer sites.
Anyone with 7 items or fewer can take them to:
While other electronics items are not covered under the state's E-Cycles program, LCWMD's collection program offers free recycling of office electronids such as printers, fax and phone manchines and entertainment electronics such as VCRs, DVD players, video game units, and sterio components. Non-computer extension items such as speakers, covers, and packaging are not collected in this program.
If you have more than seven items in one trip, have floor standing copiers, other items over 50 lbs., or dismantled items,
you must take it to one of these local processors:

Lane County places a priority on reuse
Miscellaneous electronics are sent
to NextStep recycling where they are reviewed for reuse before they are dismantled and recycled. Hundreds of pounds of electronics are returned to the community through this process, which creates jobs and increases low-cost access to electronics within our community.
