Electronics Recycling for Households

Where can I recycle computers or televisions?

Kalamazoo County's Household Hazardous Waste Center, at 1301 Lamont Ave, Kalamazoo, now accepts and recycles old computers and TVs during regular collection hours, on an ongoing basis. Small businesses may also recycle electronics for a fee (see fee schedule below).

For FREE

• Six computer systems* per year (includes 6 monitors & 6 CPUs plus keyboards and mice) or
• Twelve electronic pieces such as any combination of printers, DVD players, VCRs and stereos or
• Six televisions per year
• Cell phones (no limit)

*Please remember to remove any confidential data from your hard drive by reformatting the drive or by physically removing the drive and smashing it with a hammer!
