Electronic Waste
How to dispose of electronic waste in Central Oregon.
Electronic waste (E-Waste) includes computers (desktops and laptops), monitors and televisions. E-cycling is important for many reasons. Electronics are made with valuable materials that can be recycled into new products. Electronics also contain toxic materials such as lead, cadmium and mercury. E-cycling protects our health by keeping these toxics out of the environment.
Oregon E-Cycles is a state-wide program that provides free, easy and environmentally responsible recycling program for computers, monitors and TVs. The program is financed by electronics manufacturers and jointly implemented with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
