Old cell phones contain a number of dangerous materials that should be kept out of the waste stream. Westchester County passed a cell phone recycling law that went into effect June 1, 2006, making it illegal to throw phones into the garbage. In January 2007, New York State also passed a law on Wireless Phone Recycling preempting the county law.
In almost every Westchester community, county residents can find cell phone drop-off locations to recycle old phones. New York State law mandates that you recycle your old cell phone. This list of drop-off locations in Westchester County makes it easy to properly dispose of your old cell phones. Drop-off locations are listed alphabetically by municipality.
