  2. South Carolina computer manufacturer recovery program (S.C. Code 48-60-40)State program · South CarolinaSouth Carolina residentsConditions applyFree
    How it works

    Under South Carolina's Information Technology Equipment Collection and Recovery Act, a computer maker may not sell covered computers in the state unless it offers a recovery program at no charge. It covers desktop, laptop and notebook computers and consumer printers bearing the maker's label. The maker may use mail-back (for example a prepaid label) or centrally located collection sites or events, and must describe the program on its website. TVs and computer monitors are handled separately through county collection sites funded by manufacturers.

    Cost & rules
    • Desktop, laptop and notebook computers (and consumer printers) bearing the maker's label. Computer monitors are not part of this program.
    • Use the brand maker's program as described on its website: mail-back with a prepaid label, or a collection site or event. Collection events must take any covered computer device.
    • Computers may not go in landfill-bound trash in South Carolina. Every county and some cities also run electronics collection; check RecycleHereSC.
    • Before you go: Delete all personal information before recycling.
