A law called the Covered Devices Recycling Act which prohibits disposal of covered devices as trash becomes effective January 24, 2013.  Covered devices include desktop computers, laptops, monitors, computer peripherals (keyboard, mouse, printer and speakers), televisions and e-readers.

These items must be recycled and can be done so at the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority's Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1299 Harrisburg Pike in Lancaster.  They will accept a maximum of 10 units per visitor per day from Lancaster County residents and businesses.  Additional information may be found at www.lcswma.org.  Also, see www.Earth911.com for a listing of additional locations that recycle covered devices.
