Minnesota's Electronics Recycling Act
 Recycle Consumer Electronics
Consumer electronics such as TVs, computer equipment, and DVD players contain toxic metals and chemicals. Protect yourself and the environment: keep them out of the trash.
Residents can take advantage of the growing number of recycling options for household electronics — some are free, while some charge a fee.
