Delaware residents, schools, non-profit, public agencies and businesses are invited to participate in DSWA's Electronic Goods Recycling program to recycle, rather than throw away, their unwanted electronic products.

Consider the benefits of recycling electronic goods:

DSWA's Electronic Goods Recycling (EGR) program allows residents to conveniently drop off their unwanted items for free at DSWA facilities statewide. Schools and Non-profit and Public Agencies only can drop off for free at the Delaware Recycling Center (DRC) or Milford Transfer Station. For more information, please call the DSWA's Citizens' Response Line at 1-800-404-7080.

Recycling electronic goods removes potentially hazardous materials from the waste stream and saves landfill space.

DSWA also supports donating cellular phones to an organization which donates working cell phones to United States Soldiers. For more information, please visit www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com.
