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.

Modern integrated smelters (Aurubis, Umicore, Boliden) can recover the precious metals embedded in circuit boards. Drop-off sites like this one are the first link in that recovery chain.
