Metro's Electronics Recycling


Metro
Find resources for recycling computers, televisions and other electronics.

Learn how to store, prepare and transport materials for recycling and what questions to ask electronics recyclers.

Call the Metro Recycling information hotline today at 503-234-3000.

Effective January 1, 2009, electronics manufacturers were required to provide responsible recycling for computer CPUs, monitors, televisions and laptops at no cost to anyone bringing seven or fewer items to a participating collector at one time.

Effective January 1, 2010, computers, monitors, televisions and laptops are now banned from landfill disposal in Oregon.

To find a participating electronics recycler in the tri-county Portland metropolitan area, call Metro Recycling Information or visit the Find a recycler page.

We once again check in with Betty Shelly (remember Betty from her "down-to-one-garbage-can-a-year" plan?) Remember, we are mandated to recycle, reuse or reinvent our electronics.



Metro has dozens of ideas and tools for us to use.

Call the Metro Recycling information hotline today at 503-234-3000.
