Free TV & Electronic Recycling
September 11, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 5:30 pm
After a brief halt due to our previous partner recycling company closing their local facility at the end of 2021, Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County ReStore is proud to reintroduce this free service to the community. The ONLY local FREE option for responsibly recycling TV’s & E-waste. Through this innovative partnership with MRM, ECOvanta, and the Covered Device Recycling Act (CDRA) Habitat Bucks is now designated as a recycling collection center for TV’s, computer monitors, printers, computer towers, laptops, tablets, and other household misc. electronics (Working & Non-working).
Due to the extremely high demand for this service we are limiting the flow of drop off’s to 10 scheduled customers per day on a first come, first serve basis. This will help ensure that our team can properly manage inventory and logistics. We hope to increase this limit as we continue to learn the process, and also hope to incorporate and host collection’s in future community events. To inquire more about this new service please contact BJ Breish, [email protected], ReStore Director.
10 free “tickets” are available Tue-Sat 10-5:30pm. If you reserve 1 of those tickets you may drop off on that particular day any time during those hours. Please only reserve one if you can use it.
When scheduling a drop off you understand that All TV’s, Computers, and other misc. household electronics will be accepted for free.
For general appointments please limit TV’s/Monitors to 3 per scheduled appointment, and 2-3 boxes of misc. Electronics.
For larger/bulk drop off’s please contact us prior to scheduling and delivery 215-822-2708 x1
At this time, no collections will be accepted without an appointment.
We encourage you to load up your vehicle with other household donations to bring with you during your appointment. Donations of gently used household goods and furniture help fund the Mission of Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County.
We encourage you to shop the ReStore after you unload your vehicle. Your purchases help fund the Mission of Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County.
