NYS DEC says:

With holiday cheer and gifts galore, many of you will give or receive new electronic equipment. As you switch out of the old and welcome the new, please remember to recycle your old electronics responsibly.

Examples of common electronic equipment that must be recycled:

• Computers (desktops, laptops, e-readers, tablets, etc.)
• Computer peripherals (mice, keyboards, monitors, printers, etc.)
• Small electronic equipment (DVR’s, DVD players, MP3 players, video game consoles, etc.)
• Televisions

It is illegal to dispose of these and other covered electronic equipment (CEE) in the trash under New York’s electronic waste law.

How to recycle electronics:
Visit DEC’s Consumer Electronic Waste Recycling webpage for information on all available recycling/reuse opportunities.

Manufacturers of CEE are required to provide consumers a free and convenient opportunity to recycle their equipment or one piece of CEE from another manufacturer with the purchase of the same type. Depending on a specific manufacturer’s acceptance program, CEE recycling/reuse opportunities may include permanent collection locations, local collection events, mail-back programs, or at-home pickup (when no other free and convenient option is offered).

Questions or concerns? Contact the E-waste Recycling Team.

NYS DEC Says –

Boxes and ribbons
There’s always so many
Wrapping paper options
The choices are plenty
Decisions, decisions
Which wrapping paper to use?
Take a look at the chart below
To help you pick and choose
Careful choices
Made with less haste
Means a happy holiday for the Earth
Because of less waste
There’s reuse and recycling
And composting too
Consider a greener wrapping option
And our environment will thank you!
