  3. Pennsylvania manufacturer e-waste recycling (Covered Device Recycling Act)State program · PennsylvaniaPennsylvania residentsFree
    How it works

    Under Pennsylvania's Covered Device Recycling Act (Act 108 of 2010), overseen by DEP, makers of desktop and laptop computers, monitors, computer peripherals (keyboards, printers) and TVs must run recycling programs for these devices. Manufacturers and retailers may not charge consumers to collect or recycle them unless they give a coupon or rebate of equal or greater value. Collection sites not run by a retailer or tied to a manufacturer program may charge. DEP keeps a county list of collection sites and events. Since January 24, 2013 these devices are banned from the trash.

    Cost & rules
    • TVs with a viewable screen of four inches or larger (CRT, plasma, LCD, DLP, LED and similar), made for consumer use.
    • DEP keeps a county list of CDRA collection sites and a list of collection programs and events. Contact a site first: not all take TVs, most municipal programs are residents-only, and some need registration or charge nominal fees. You can also call DEP's Recycling Hotline at 1-800-346-4242.
    • Manufacturers and retailers may not charge consumers unless they give a coupon or rebate of equal or greater value. Collection sites that are not retailers and not tied to a manufacturer program may charge for covered devices, and any site may charge for non-covered devices.
    • Open to households and small businesses. Businesses with 50+ employees and public entities are not covered.

Places that don’t take televisions (1)

Before you go

  1. Note whether it’s a flat screen or an older CRT (tube) set; many programs price them differently.
  2. Ask whether a cracked screen or broken glass changes the price or handling.
  3. Confirm the total cost, including any visit fee, before you load it.
