HHW Collection Event Schedule The term "e-waste" is applied to consumer electronic equipment that is no longer wanted.

E-waste can include computers, printers, televisions, VCRs, cell phones, fax machines, stereos, and electronic games.

Electronics may contain lead, copper, and other heavy metals or potentially toxic substances. It is critical to reduce e-waste by only buying what you need, reuse electronics that still work, and finally recycle electronics at the end of their useful life cycle.

What can I do with my E-Waste?

If you have electronics that are still usable, list them on LACoMAX, the Countywide online materials exchange. You can also contact your City's recycling coordinator to see if a program may be available to you where you live.

If your electronics are no longer usable, take a look at our schedule to find the next HHW/E-Waste Roundup near you. You may also utilize a permanent collection center or a collection event operated by the City of LA. You may also call your city for any special programs or collection events that they may be holding in your area.

The following are examples of electronics that may be brought to HHW Collection Events:
