Households, K-12 schools, and businesses and nonprofits with 100 or fewer employees bring covered devices to their town's site; some sites charge a small fee. It is illegal to throw away CRT and LCD screens in Maine. Cell phones are not covered.

Before you go

  1. Note whether it’s a flat screen or an older CRT (tube) set; many programs price them differently.
  2. Ask whether a cracked screen or broken glass changes the price or handling.
  3. Confirm the total cost, including any visit fee, before you load it.
