How to Recycle Electronic Waste in Phoenix

It’s free, easy, and helps protect our environment right here in the Valley.

E-Waste Basics

What Is Electronic Waste?

Electronic waste, often called e-waste, is any old or broken electronic item you no longer use. Think phones, tablets, computers, TVs, chargers, cables, headphones, printers, power cords, household batteries, and disposable vapes.

These items contain valuable materials like gold, silver, copper, and plastic that can be recovered and made into new products. At the same time, they can also contain chemicals that may be harmful if they end up in the regular trash.

Why It Matters

Why it’s valuable to recycle

When you recycle e-waste the right way, you keep harmful chemicals out of our soil and water, reduce the need to mine new metals, and help protect the environment for families across Phoenix. It’s one of the simplest ways everyday households can make a real difference.
