Electronics Recycling in St Croix County
Electronics
have revolutionized our lifestyle with telephones, radios, TVs, computers
and cell phones. These items make up the bulk of electronics that threaten
the environment, because of the dangerous elements in them. Reuse and
recycling prevents electronic items from reaching landfills, creating less
waste, providing usable items to organizations that need them and
recapturing valuable resources. As new products hit the market, relevant
information and resources are necessary to ensure old items are properly
discarded.
In St Croix County, residents can bring
electronic items to the County Electronics Collection
held twice each year.
