This isn't a complete list — there are simply too many types of electronics to name them all. If you're unsure whether we accept your device, feel free to reach out. A small fee applies to certain items; call us to learn more about our recycling services and pricing.
This may surprise you, but the United States produces the most electronic waste in the world. Each year, around 9.4 million tons of electronic waste is produced, but only 12% of it goes to recycling. The numbers are even higher when you take into account the rest of the world. Collectively, we produce around 20 to 50 million tons of electronic waste.
What can we do to help with proper waste disposal of electronic devices? Send them to a certified electronics recycling company like ours in Hughesville PA!

Most electronic devices are made up of many different materials, so recycling electronic devices is not as simple as recycling paper or plastics. But the effort that goes into recycling electronic devices is worth it. For example, if one million cell phones were recycled properly through collection programs, it would produce 35,274 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium. These are all valuable metals that can then be turned into things such as jewelery, watches, surgical instruments, and much more!
Certified electronics recycling companies in Lycoming County, like KVS Computers, will collect, refurbish and resell electronics to give them a second life and to keep them out of the waste stream.
If electronics are improperly disposed of, it could impact the environment in a negative manner. The main concern is that electronic devices take years to decompose and as they do, they release chemicals into the soil and groundwater.
