If you are inclined to do your own recycling?

If you would prefer to spend your time gathering up your old computers and monitors, getting them into your vehicle and then back out again after driving to a recycling center, then you need to know where to take them:

Hennepin County has two locations which handle e-wastes. A southern location in Bloomington and a Northern location in Brooklyn Park. Residents, not businesses, can drop off any consumer electronics at these locations, free of charge.

Other locations are available outside of Hennepin, but they will assess various fees to residents and businesses alike.
