A variety of electronic devices, including televisions, computers, home audio and theater equipment and telephones are accepted. Most items can be recycled for free, but a small fee of $5 is charged to recycle computer monitors and televisions ($10 for wood console TVs). These items require special handling due to the leaded glass and mercury they contain.
