ELECTRONIC GOODS RECYCLING PROGRAM

   



Above, N.C. Vasuki leads a delegation from Europe through DSWA's Electronic Goods Recycling facility in Wilmington. Delaware residents, schools, and businesses can participate in DSWA's Electronic Goods Recycling program to recycle, rather than throw away, their unwanted electronic products. Consider the benefits of recycling electronic goods:

DSWA's new Electronic Goods Recycling program lets homeowners and businesses conveniently drop off their unwanted items for free at DSWA facilities statewide.

Recycling electronic goods removes a potentially hazardous material from the waste stream and saves landfill space.

One person's trash is another person's treasure. By recycling your electronic equipment, you help consumers buy used equipment at lower prices.
