Electronics Recycling in Kentucky

Kentucky does not currently have a statewide e-waste recycling law or a formal electronics recycling program mandated by the state. As a result, electronics recycling in Kentucky is managed through local and regional programs. Many counties (and cities like Louisville and Lexington) offer drop-off sites for old electronics or include e-waste in their periodic hazardous waste collection events. The state government encourages recycling of electronics and even runs educational initiatives, but no law requires manufacturers or consumers to participate. Without a ban on electronics in landfills at the state level, Kentucky leans on the initiative of local waste authorities and the public's willingness to recycle to reduce electronic waste.
