Guidelines and Restrictions
Computers, monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, TVs, cell phones, and similar devices will all be accepted for recycling. They only accept electronics from home users, not from businesses. No microwaves or other appliances.
They say their recycler physically destroys all hard drives, but I recommend doing a secure erase of your drive before you drop off your computer. If you need help with this, let us know!
more info on the recycling guidelines, see their e-waste FAQ.
