E-Waste

Electronic and electrical products surround us in today’s society.  Huge numbers of products we purchase, such as computers, become obsolete quickly creating a challenge for their safe disposal.  In addition, electronic products are made from valuable resources, including precious and other metals, engineered plastics, glass, and other materials.

Columbia County offers a recycling program for old computer monitors and other computer components.  Currently, all computers that are used for residential use may be brought to any of the solid waste stations.

The electronic components that we accept at the County solid waste stations are taken directly to Maven Technologies recycling facility for proper handling. 

Businesses in need of proper disposal of your electronics, may contact the Solid Waste Department at 518-828-2737 for further instruction.
