What it costs

This is a national program drop-off. National programs typically accept the manufacturer's own brand free of charge, with fees on third-party items or oversized goods (CRT monitors, large appliances). Confirm pricing with the location before drop-off.

Before you visit

**Quick checklist before you go:** confirm the location's hours by phone, back up and erase any device with storage, separate batteries from devices, and verify whether the site charges for items like CRT monitors or microwaves. Drop-off rules can change without notice.

Used electronics still hold recoverable value: gold connectors, copper bus bars, palladium in catalytic surfaces, and aluminium cases. Responsible recycling sends those materials back into the supply chain instead of into landfill.
