Electronics

In King County, electronics must be recycled. Electronics are banned from the garbage and are not accepted at recycling and disposal stations or hazardous waste collection sites.

E-Cycle Washington allows small businesses to recycle computers, monitors, laptops, cell phones, printers, and TVs and other electronics for free at one of their authorized drop-off collection sites. Visit the E-Cycle Washington website to find a drop-off location near you.

NOTE: As of January 1, 2024, electronics may no longer be thrown in the garbage in areas served by Seattle Public Utilities. Please follow the guidance on this page and arrange for a special item pick-up through Seattle Public Utilities or work with a local e-waste recycling organization such as E-Cycle Washington.
