New York City residents can legally discard unwanted or broken electronics (computers, monitors, TVs) in the trash until July 2010. Recycling or donating these items, however, keeps hazardous materials out of the waste stream and the environment. There are many opportunities available within the City to recycle or donate electronics. City agencies, schools, businesses, and institutions (including nonprofits) are required to recycle their electronics. Local Law 13 of 2008, signed by the mayor on April 1, 2008 will make it illegal for NYC residents to discard electronics in the trash by July 2010. This law also adds additional no-cost opportunities for recycling your electronics.
