Electronics Recycling

Growing at three times the rate of other wastes, electronics is the newest challenge in environmentally friendly waste disposal. If not properly disposed of, electronics can release hazardous materials into our environment.

To help alleviate this problem, Broward County’s Waste and Recycling Services has provided Broward County residents with a program to dispose of electronics. Since 2001 more than 1,200,000 pounds of unwanted electronics have been recovered, including 100,000 pounds of lead.

Who can participate?
Broward County residents (Proof of residency required).
Businesses can call 954-577-4160 for disposal information.

Once dropped-off, what happens to the electronics?
Waste and Recycling Services partners with Achievement and Rehabilitation Centers (ARC Broward), a non-profit organization serving people with disabilities. ARC provides services to collect and refurbish or de-manufacture end-of-life electronics. ARC participants learn new skills and receive valuable work training in the disassembly of computers. The recovered materials are then shipped out for recycling or environmentally safe disposal.
