Electronics & Metal for Multifamily

Electronics

Electronics often contain toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury, which are typically found in cathode-ray tube (CRT) TVs and monitors, printed circuit boards, batteries, relays and switches. Also, capacitors in some types of older and larger equipment may contain polychlorinated biphenyls.

Cash, exact change please, or checks (made payable to Arlington County Treasurer) only. All other electronics are accepted free of charge.
