Electronics Recycling
Various parts of popular electronic devices may contain dangerous heavy metals, including lead, silver, barium, cadmium, chromium and mercury. CVWMA's newest program helps citizens properly dispose of unwanted equipment instead of landfilling them where they could cause soil, water or air contamination. Click here for more info.
Equipment collected in this program will be demanufactured for recycling. Some components may be refurbished for continued use.

Electronics recycling events are on hiatus until the fall, when CVWMA and our member local governments plan to bring you more opportunities to recycle unwanted electronics. Until then, we remind you that citizens and businesses may deliver items to the site of CVWMA's electronics recycling contractor, Sims Recycling Solutions, each weekday.
Monday through Friday:
SimsMetal facility, 3220 Deepwater Terminal Rd, Richmond. Materials are accepted at the SimsMetal facility during the week. Items will be accepted Monday through Friday between 7 am and 4 pm. Click here for directions and instructions.
Recent Saturday Events:

Accepted Items and Costs
Most items are accepted at no charge (see chart below). However, fees are required for two items: televisions and computer monitors. These fees cover the cost of shipping these heavy items to Michigan where the leaded glass will be removed and processed. The same fees apply to equipment collected at the Saturday events or taken to the SimsMetal facility. Payment is accepted by cash or check payable to Sims.
