  4. Maryland covered electronic device manufacturer take-back (Statewide Electronics Recycling Program)State program · MarylandMaryland residentsConditions applyFree
    How it works

    Under Maryland's Statewide Electronics Recycling Program (Environment Article 9-1727 to 9-1730), makers of covered electronic devices (computers with monitors, and video display devices with screens over 4 inches) must register with MDE every year to sell in Maryland. Take-back is not required of every maker: makers that run an MDE-approved take-back program pay a lower fee, and such programs must be free, with a no-cost way to return the device (for example postage-paid mailers or collection points). MDE's list of registered manufacturers links to the makers with approved free take-back. Printers, mice, detachable keyboards and PDAs are not covered.

    Cost & rules
    • Desktop and laptop computers, including the monitor. Printers, mice, detachable keyboards and PDAs are not covered.
    • Only makers with an MDE-approved take-back program offer it; find them on MDE's registered-manufacturer list (linked makers recycle their brands for free) and follow the maker's toll-free number or web page. Programs take the maker's own brand, by mail-back or at collection points.
    • Some counties also recycle electronics for their residents; most county and city drop-offs are open to residents only. Contact your county.
    • Before you go: Approved programs must include instructions on wiping data from the device.

Before you go

  1. List each device and describe any damage to the operator.
  2. Back up your files and erase the device using the maker’s instructions.
  3. Ask whether documented data destruction is offered and what it costs.
