DID YOU KNOW that electronic waste (old computers, monitors, printers, televisions, fax machines, CD and DVD players/recorders, stereos, etc.) often contains toxic metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury? Since most trash either gets buried in a landfill or sent to an incinerator, including these items in your regular garbage can contribute significantly to groundwater and air pollution. To help avoid this risk, the Southold Town Department of Solid Waste now requires that E-Waste be separated from your regular trash for special handling. At the Transfer Station, residents with E-Waste will be directed to weigh the item(s) at the scales and deposit them in a designated area. The fee for E-Waste is the same as other household rubbish.
E-Waste is accepted at the Transfer Station during normal business hours. Since 2007, Southold has collected nearly 100,000 lbs of electronic waste for safe disposal through this program. Please continue to help keep heavy metals from polluting our environment by disposing of E-Waste safely and responsibly.
