RECYCLING : ELECTRONICS, COMPUTERS & CELL PHONES SPSA accepts cell phones for recycling through our Household Hazardous Waste Collection facilities. Cell phones can also be taken to the local YWCA Women in Crisis Shelter or the 911 Cell Phone Bank. SPSA does not have an established program for the collection and
recycling/disposal of computers and other electronics at this time. We continue
to investigate the feasibility of this action. In addition, residents can safely dispose of used or unwanted consumer electronic equipment by donating them to local charities, schools/institutions or businesses that may have a need for them. HR CLEAN has a listing of organizations that may take your unwanted electronic items. Please click here to view that list. For more information, call Environmental Management at 539-9373. |
