While most of us know how to recycle paper, plastic bottles or aluminum cans, many people don’t know how to properly dispose of old computers, cellphones and other electronic devices.

Properly reusing or recycling electronics prevents metals and toxic materials from ending up in a landfill, harming our environment and endangering public health.

When you recycle electronics, valuable materials (metals, plastics and glass) are extracted and used for new products. The following locations offer electronics recycling in the Kansas City metro.
