Before you visit

**Before you visit:** call ahead to confirm current accepted items and opening hours. Wipe personal data from any device with a hard drive or storage chip. Remove batteries from devices where possible. Some sites charge fees for CRT TVs, large appliances, or commercial-quantity drop-offs.

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.
