Electronic Waste

Since January 1, 2013, no person may dispose of any electronic waste in their regular household trash. Electronic waste is anything that can be plugged into a wall socket. Examples are televisions, VCRs, computers, printers and microwaves. If left curbside, the hauler will not take it.

New limit on TVs brought for recycling at Lanchester Landfill:

• Limit of (1) TV per household
• NO PROJECTION TVs
• You must show ID that you are a resident in our service area.

This change is necessary, until further notice, due to serious capacity limitations.

It is still a free service.
