Electronic waste (e-waste) is anything that plugs into an outlet or uses a battery.
It is illegal to place Electronic Waste (e-waste) in any collection container. The State of California provides a list of banned materials from the landfill that require special drop off.
NOTICE ON LAPTOP, TABLET AND CELL PHONE EWASTE DROP-OFF: Please do not puncture through laptops, tablets, and cellphones in an attempt to destroy the data. Nicking or drilling through a battery can be extremely dangerous and guarantees the battery can’t be reclaimed for recycling. Drilling through a device doesn’t prevent it from being accessed and isn’t worth the risk of fire or noxious fumes. To delete your personal data, please consider doing a factory reset instead. NOTICE ON E-BIKE BATTERIES: The Burbank Recycle Center’s battery collection program does not accept e-bike batteries. After confirming your battery is on the list of accepted e-bike battery brands, please refer to Call2Recycle’s Locator to find a location that can accept your battery.
