E-cycle is Coming to Berkeley County
Starting July 1, 2011 the new Electronic Waste Recycling Law (Section 48-60-90) will go into effect, changing what items we can accept at the Berkeley County Landfill. Also known as e-scrap, electronic waste – computers, printers, televisions, cell phones and other devices – is one the most rapidly growing waste streams in the nation.
What this Means to You?
In accordance with the law, our landfill will no longer accept the following items or any of their parts:
- Computers (include desktop, laptop, notebook and tablet computers)
- Computer Monitors
- Televisions
- Printers
In addition to the landfill ban, these items will no longer be allowed for bulk pick-up.
Where Should these Items Go?
Berkeley County residents can bring these items to any of our nine area convenience centers for disposal. Each center will have designated covered containers for these devices. If you have any questions, please contact our Recycling Coordinator, Sarah McCarthy-Smith, at (843) 719-2383.
