Electronics Recycling

At our 9031 Reichs Ford Road site in Frederick, electronics brought through the main entrance for recycling incur a fee of $0.69 per 20 pounds of material being dropped off, if paid by cash or check. If paid by Visa, Mastercard, or Discover, the fee is $0.76 per 20 pounds of electronics being recycled. Electronics can also be brought to the Citizen's Convenience Center for a flat rate of $7.60.
