PERMANENT ELECTRONICS DROP-OFF SITE NOW IN BRISTOL TOWNSHIP

Due to a state law, the Township’s trash collector is NO longer able to accept computers (desktops and laptops), computer peripherals (such as keyboards or printers), monitors, and televisions.
 

HOW TO RECYCLE ELECTRONICS SAFELY

Residents and small businesses in Bristol Township may now drop off small electronics for recycling FREE at the outdoor electronics collection site at the Bristol Township Municipal Building, located at 2501 Bath Road. The drop off site is open weekdays from 8:30AM to 4:30PM, unless the Township is closed due to a holiday. No appointments are necessary. Anyone dropping off electronics MUST first stop at the Municipal Building Administrative Office and show a valid ID or a copy of a utility bill identifying that they are a business in the Township or resident of Bristol Township.  Electronics may NOT be left outside at the Municipal Building or collection site when the facility is closed. Please note that the collection site is monitored 24 hours a day by the Bristol Township Police Department to prevent dumping or theft of materials. Please come prepared to remove your electronics from your vehicle yourself.  For liability reasons, Township staff is unable to assist you.

Bristol Township is working directly with Reverse Logistics Group Americas, Inc. (RLGA) who is responsible for managing take-back and regulatory compliance for electronics manufacturers throughout the US, Canada and Latin America.  RLGA works only with those companies who recycle the material according to the Pennsylvania Covered Device Recycling Act and the highest industry standards, of which include, R2, e-Stewards and NAID certification.
