Computers and Electronics

Safe disposal for computers, TVs, and other e-waste.

Electronic waste poses a unique disposal problem. Computers are not banned from the landfills; however, there are more environmentally-friendly disposal options. This "e-waste" may contain heavy metals such as lead, chromium, and mercury that are best kept out of the landfills. In addition, e-waste contains valuable materials that should be recycled. Televisions can be placed at the curb with your regular trash. Often, it will be picked-up by garbage pickers even before the garbage trucks come around. There are some outlets for television recycling, however, they are not free. See below for local recycling options.

Computers and computer peripherals are accepted from RRRASOC residents at the Household Hazardous Waste events.

In addition, the Southfield 24-Hour recycling drop-off accepts computers and computer peripherals from all Michigan residents and businesses. The computers are then collected by Classic Computer Recovery where they are either refurbished or dismantled and recycled here in Michigan. There is a 250 pound maximum. If you have a large quantity of materials, please call CCR directly or one of the other companies listed below.

NEW! The Wixom Department of Public Works now accepts computers and computer peripherals from Wixom businesses and residents. The computer drop-off is self-serve and is located at 2041 Charms Road in Wixom. It is open Monday-Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm. Businesses and homeowners with greater than 250 pounds of computers are asked to call CCR at 734.732.1784 to make alternate arrangements.
