Electronics Recycling - It's the Law!
As of July 1, 2011, residents are no longer allowed to dispose of computers, computer monitors, printers and televisions with their household garbage. These items must be recycled.
The legislation specifically says that residents “may not knowingly place or discard” a computer, computer monitor, printer and television “in any waste stream that is to be disposed of in a solid waste landfill.” The City of Columbia, Lexington County, and Richland County all have drop-off locations for recycling electronics.
