Electronics
TVs, monitors, and other electronics are costly to recycle. The good news, however, is that many retailers will take back their products for recycling at no cost to you!
We believe that retailers and manufacturers should take responsibility for the entire life cycle of their products, but we know that retailers do not always make that an option. If you've checked the link above and find you're out of luck with your retailer, our Sandy Springs Recycling Center can take limited items and within that, they are often limited to Sandy Springs Residents only.
Not a Sandy Springs resident? Novus Solutions, LLC and Atlanta Recycling Solutions are two organizations we are proud to recommend. They will accept electronics from any person regardless of residency for safe and responsible handling and recycling.
Electronics recycling at the Sandy Springs Recycling Center for any individual at NO CHARGE:
- Rechargeable, NiCad, Lithium, button cell, and automotive batteries. We do NOT accept Alkaline (single-use) batteries at KNFB, but the good news is they can be safely disposed of in your household trash.
- Cell phones
- Computers & Accessories (monitors incur a fee and may only be recycled by Sandy Springs residents)
- Inkjet and Laser Printer cartridges
- Miscellaneous Electronics
- Microwaves, however please place these in the "Scrap Metal" area, not the electronics area.
