  3. New York manufacturer e-waste take-back (Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act)State program · New YorkNew York residentsFree
    How it works

    Under the NYS Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act (ECL Article 27, Title 26), overseen by DEC, manufacturers must give most consumers free and convenient recycling of covered electronic equipment: computers, peripherals such as keyboards, mice, monitors and printers, TVs, and small electronics such as DVD players, VCRs, DVRs and game consoles. Use a manufacturer's take-back program (mail-back, retail or municipal drop-off, events) or a registered e-waste collection site from DEC's county list. A site not affiliated with a manufacturer program may charge. Since 2015 this equipment is banned from the trash.

    Cost & rules
    • Televisions with screens over 4 inches diagonally, including their cables and cords.
    • Use the brand manufacturer's take-back program (DEC lists registered manufacturers, websites and toll-free numbers), or a registered e-waste collection site from DEC's county list. Call ahead. A site not affiliated with a manufacturer program may charge a fee.
    • Free for households and small businesses and nonprofits. Businesses with 50+ full-time employees (nonprofits 75+) may be charged, and premium services such as at-home pickup or data wiping may cost extra.
