We all have one: that “tech graveyard” of outdated electronics collecting dust somewhere in the house. Maybe it’s an old TV in the basement, a drawer full of cell phones, or a printer that stopped working years ago. It can be hard to know what to do with these items, and most people don’t realize how easy it is to recycle them responsibly.
At Responsible Recycling Services (RRS), we specialize in making electronics recycling simple and accessible for homeowners. Whether you are cleaning out a closet, downsizing, or just ready to reclaim some space, we provide convenient ways to safely dispose of unwanted electronics without the stress or confusion.
Why Recycle Your Old Gadgets
Electronics contain valuable materials that can be reused, but they also contain components that can harm the environment if they are not handled properly. Items like computers, TVs, and monitors often include metals such as lead, mercury, or cadmium, which should never end up in a landfill. In many cases, it is also against state regulations to throw electronics in the trash.
By recycling, you ensure that those materials are safely processed, reused, and kept out of the waste stream. More importantly, you can keep your home clutter-free while protecting your community from unnecessary waste. That is where we come in. We make it easy to do the right thing.
Convenient Drop-Off Locations
Convenience matters when it comes to recycling. That is why we have partnered with local businesses and community sites throughout Lehigh and Berks counties to host multiple drop-off locations for household electronics.
Our drop-off sites are open to residents year-round, giving you the flexibility to recycle when it works best for your schedule. You can bring almost any electronic device, including TVs, computers, laptops, printers, phones, monitors, tablets, keyboards, cables, and small appliances. If it plugs in, powers up, or runs on batteries, chances are we can take it.
Each site is clearly marked and easy to find, so you never have to wonder where your old devices are going or how they will be handled. We take pride in providing a clean, professional, and organized experience for every customer.
Community Recycling Events
Along with our permanent drop-off sites, we also host community recycling events throughout the region. These full-service events are designed for convenience. You simply drive up with your items, and our trained team handles the rest. We unload your car, sort and package materials, and answer any questions along the way.
Our events are often held in partnership with local municipalities, schools, and businesses. They give residents an easy, local way to recycle without any heavy lifting. Whether it is a township-wide cleanout day or a community electronics drive, these events make responsible recycling quick and simple for everyone.
You can visit our website anytime to view our upcoming event schedule. We keep it updated regularly so you always know when and where you can find us.
What to Expect: Fees and Data Security
We believe in keeping things simple and transparent. Some items, such as older TVs or monitors, may include a small recycling fee to cover processing costs. You can always find a clear, up-to-date list of accepted items and fees on our website before you drop off your materials.
We also take data security very seriously. Many electronics contain personal information, and we handle all devices with care. Every device we receive with data storage is wiped according to Department of Defense standards. For added peace of mind, we also offer hard drive destruction upon request, ensuring your information is completely and permanently removed.
