Effective Tuesday, May 26, 2015 all citizens will be required to pay a disposal fee for televisions and computer monitors. This is due to the hazardous material content that must be disposed of properly. This is the fee that the County is charged by the vendor for proper disposal; the County does not profit in any way from the fee.

All other electronics, either with an electric cord or battery operated, are disposed of free-of-charge.
