FAQ
Do you take toasters, microwave ovens, blenders, vacuum cleaners, etc.?
If your small home appliance is still usable, please donate the item to a charity so that someone else will get the opportunity to use it. The best thing for the environment is to keep using the home appliance as long as possible. If the small home appliance is not working, then we will accept it for recycling.
Do you accept large home appliances?

Do you take old thermostats?

Do you accept smoke detectors?
The best source of information on recycling smoke detectors is from the United States Post Office. Check out the information here which includes a list of manufacturers to send a detector.
Can alkaline batteries be recycled?
Alkaline batteries are non-hazardous and can be disposed of in the household garbage. If you would still rather recycle the alkaline battery then Batteries + Bulb or Battery Solutions can recycle them, but there may be a small fee. Using rechargeable batteries instead of alkaline batteries would be better for the environment.
