Old computers, TVs, and phones contain toxic materials that don't belong in the trash. Here's how to handle e-waste recycling in Marysville and Snohomish County.

What Counts as E-Waste

Any electronic device that you no longer use is considered e-waste:

TVs and monitors
Desktop computers, laptops, and tablets
Cell phones and smartphones
Printers, scanners, and fax machines
Game consoles and peripherals
Cables, chargers, and accessories
Stereos and audio equipment
Smart home devices

Why E-Waste Recycling Matters

Electronics contain hazardous materials including lead, mercury, cadmium, and flame retardants. When these end up in landfills, they can leach into soil and groundwater.

On the flip side, electronics also contain valuable materials — copper, gold, silver, and rare earth elements — that can be recovered through proper recycling.
