Electronics Recycling for Households

The State of Texas encourages everyone to support the state’s economy and environment by repairing, reselling, donating, or recycling used electronics. Although electronic equipment from a household is not subject to federal or state regulation as hazardous waste, choosing to recycle used electronics over landfill disposal reduces the need to process raw materials for new products.
