Electronics
The Electronic Industries Alliance has a directory of companies and other organizations that will help you recycle other electronics. See http://www.eiae.org.
For more information, see the Where Can I Donate or Recycle My Old Computer and Other Electronic Products? page of the US EPA's Web site.
Envelopes
Pay-As-You-Throw customers can recycle white and colored envelopes by putting them in their Single Stream Recycling cart. Envelopes with windows and labels are OK.
If you are not a Pay-As-You-Throw customer, consult your waste company or building manager about whether to put brochures in your trash or in your recycling.
Ecology Action accepts paper at its downtown Austin recycling drop off center.
Explosive Materials
The Household Hazardous Waste Facility is not equipped to handle explosive materials. Please consult the Austin Police Department-Ordinance Detail at 974-5750 for disposal options. Do not put them in your garbage cart, dumpster or recycling bin.
