Indiana E-Cycle

In July of 2009, the Indiana General Assembly enacted the Indiana Electronic Waste Law, which established that in the state electronics cannot be put into the landfill. They must be recycled. This is because there are hazardous substances found in electronic waste.

This program pushes collector, recyclers, retailers, and consumers to do reduce toxins from permeating our ecosystems. As a part of the program, they developed a list of certified collectors by county. In Vanderburgh, we have 8 e-collectors. These include all Goodwill locations, Best Buy, Staples, Invironmental Technologies, and C& I Electronics.

Items prohibited from being discarded include:

• Televisions

• Computer monitors

• Computers (including desktops, laptops, and tablets)

• E-readers

• Fax machines

• Peripherals (including keyboards, mice, external hard drives, printers, all-in-one printer/scanner/copiers, projectors, and any other devices that are sold exclusively for external use with a computer and provide input into or output from a computer)

• DVD players (including gaming systems that are able to play DVDs)

• Digital photo frames

• Digital media players

• iPods/MP3 players

• Camcorders/cameras

• DVR/TiVo devices (including cable boxes and satellite boxes, but not satellite dishes)
