On-Call/Bulky Item Collection Recycle with E-Waste

Many older VCRs contain hazard materials, such as halogenated flame retardants, that could leach into the environment. Please dispose of VCRs responsibly. They can be safely collected via the Bulky Item Collection Program or can be taken to an e-waste drop-off facility. Fees may apply. 

⚠ PLEASE NOTE: Physically broken e-waste items (with broken physical parts / screens) should be treated and disposed as hazardous waste, as these items may contain dangerous substances such as mercury. SSF Scavenger does not accept mixed/broken e-waste as part of their e-waste collection / recycling program.
