A variety of electronic devices, including televisions, computers, home audio and theater equipment and telephones are accepted. Most items can be recycled for free, but a small fee of $5 is charged to recycle computer monitors and televisions ($10 for wood console TVs). These items require special handling due to the leaded glass and mercury they contain.
For additional information, please visit www.cvwma.com or call the Recycling Hotline at 340-0900.
