Before you visit

**Drop-off prep:** sign out of all accounts on devices, run a factory reset, remove SIM cards and SD cards, and pull lithium-ion batteries from laptops and power tools where the design allows. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip - hours and accepted items shift seasonally.

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.
