Electronics Recycling
Electronic devices contain valuable materials that can be recovered and reused, along with components that should be managed responsibly. Instead of placing electronics in your trash or recycling bin, recycle them through a designated progam.
City of Tucson's Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program
City of Tucson residents can bring many household electronic items to the Los Reales HHW site or at community collection events for proper recycling and disposal.
Examples of accepted electronics include:
- Computers and laptops
- Computer monitors
- Printers and scanners
- Televisions
- Cell phones and tablets
- Keyboards and computer accessories
- Cables and chargers
- DVD players and other small electronic devices
Electronics collected through the HHW Program are managed through approved recycling partners to recover reusable materials and help keep hazardous components out of the landfill.
Visit our Household Hazardous Waste page for more information.

Why Recycle Electronics?
Electronics contain materials such as copper, aluminum, steel, and precious metals that can be recovered and made into new products. Proper recycling also helps prevent hazardous materials from entering the environment and conserves natural resources.
By recycling your old electronics, you help:
- Recover valuable materials for future manufacturing
- Reduce landfill waste
- Protect natural resources
- Support a more circular economy
- Keep hazardous materials out of the environment
Please Do Not Place Electronics In Your Blue Recycling Bin!
Electronics should never be placed in your curbside recycling bin. They can cause fires, harm drivers, neighbors, damage recycling equipment, contaminate recyclable materials, and are best managed through specialized electronics recycling programs.
When in doubt, recycle electronics through the City of Tucson HHW Program or one of the trusted local organizations listed above.
