The Beaufort County Department of Solid Waste and Recycling will host two free electronics recycling events for County residents. The next events will be held Saturday, May 21, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the following locations:

Beaufort County Public Works, 9 Benton Field Road, Bluffton
Beaufort County Public Works, 140 Shanklin Road, Beaufort

Please STAY IN YOUR CAR during the event. Staff will unload electronics. Residential only.

Any personal computers, laptops, CRT monitors, LCD monitors, CRT televisions, non-CRT televisions, printers, hard drives and miscellaneous electronics (microwaves, cell phones, radios, fax machines, and typewriters) will be accepted.

According to Cindy Carter, County Solid Waste and Recycling Director, in 2021, the SWR department held four electronics recycling events at both the Beaufort and Bluffton locations and collected 166.88 tons of electronics. That tonnage equals 333,760 pounds of electronics that were recycled since electronics disposal is not allowed at County Convenience Centers. A total of 3,959 vehicles stopped at both locations to take advantage of the special recycling event.
