    Can I Throw Electronics in a Dumpster in Orlando?

    Most consumer electronics can technically go in a dumpster, but recycling is strongly encouraged and sometimes required for certain items. Here's what Orlando residents need to know about disposing of electronics during cleanouts and renovations.

    Electronics Generally Accepted in Dumpsters

    Small appliances (toasters, blenders, coffee makers), computers and laptops (with batteries removed), printers, stereos, DVD players, and most household electronics can go in a dumpster. They're not hazardous and take up minimal space.

    Electronics to Recycle Instead

    CRT monitors and TVs contain lead and should be recycled through e-waste programs. Cell phones contain valuable materials and should be recycled. Batteries of all types (lithium, alkaline, lead-acid) should never go in a dumpster. Large quantities of electronics are better recycled through Orange County's e-waste events.

    E-Waste Recycling in Orlando

    Best Buy, Staples, and other retailers accept electronics for recycling. Orange County holds periodic e-waste collection events. Many cell phone carriers accept old phones. The key is keeping batteries out of dumpsters and landfills.
