Before you visit

**Quick checklist before you go:** confirm the location's hours by phone, back up and erase any device with storage, separate batteries from devices, and verify whether the site charges for items like CRT monitors or microwaves. Drop-off rules can change without notice.

Per the UN Global E-Waste Monitor 2024, the world generated 62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2022 - only 22.3% was formally collected and recycled. Drop-off points like this one are how that number moves.
