Many electronics can be recycled for repair and reuse or for disassembly, where material components like metals and plastics can be harvested and used in manufacturing. This reduces the demand for raw materials and limited natural resources.

The White River RSWMD strongly urges its citizens to recycle electronic waste. Arkansas has placed a priority on the recycling of televisions, computers and computer accessories and cell phones; however, items accepted by EPA permitted e-waste recycling operations normally include:Computer Files and Security: The State of Arkansas uses the services of UNICOR for computer recycling. In the recycling process, computer hard drives are stripped of memory and operating systems are reloaded, erasing any remaining files.

For information about electronic waste recycling contact a collection center near you, view a location map of District E-Waste Collection Centers (pdf map).

Collection centers in the White River Regional Solid Waste Management District are listed below by county.

Note: Some locations require a small fee to help offset shipping and handling costs associated with taking electronic waste.
