Electronic Waste

The Commission’s Electronic Demanufacturing Facility (EDF) provides residents an environmentally sound disposal option for electronic waste (e-waste) such as computers and televisions. All material is demanufactured and, to ensure data security, is not refurbished or reused. Demanufacturing, or disassembling, involves manually breaking down equipment into its separate components prior to shredding or recycling.

Curbside E-waste Collection (Davenport and Bettendorf only): Bettendorf and Davenport residents that receive curbside collection can put e-waste out as bulky waste on their recycling day. This is a service that is included in the solid waste fee and no call-ins or appointments are required. The e-waste collected at the curb is delivered to the EDF.

Scott County Residents: Residents of Scott County can bring e-waste to the facility Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Residential e-waste is charged at 20 cents per pound. Console and projection televisions are a flat fee of $15. Large copiers are a flat fee of $11. Large or unusual items are assessed on a per item basis. Some communities have special collection programs; please check with your city.

Rock Island County Residents: Rock Island County residents can bring e-waste to the facility Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There is no charge with a valid Rock Island County address. Rock Island County Waste Management Agency covers the cost of processing and disposal for its residents.
