Electronics Recycling in Hawaii

Hawaii has a mandatory electronics recycling program established by state law, which ensures that residents have options to recycle their devices. The state's Electronic Device Recycling laws (enacted in 2008 and 2009) require manufacturers of computers, monitors, printers, and televisions to offer free recycling programs for Hawaii consumers. Electronics recycling in Hawaii is organized through the "Hawaii e-waste program" with collection sites available on each major island, so people can drop off covered devices rather than throwing them away. While there isn't a blanket landfill ban, these manufacturer-funded programs and island-wide collection events are critical for keeping e-waste out of Hawaii's limited landfill space and protecting the environment.
