Date Set for First Waste Event of the Year

Posted on by

The first E-Waste event for 2025 is being held May 24, 2025 in the City Hall parking lot on McCarty Street.  These events are usually in the mornings.

I recently found some great Web links from Apple that describe in clear detail what to do if you’re passing on or recycling an Apple device. Each link shows the steps you need to take to make sure your personal information is removed from the device, and that it’s safe for whoever that device is given to to set it up and get their information moved onto it.

Recycling Electronics in Jefferson City

Posted on by

Jefferson City is truly fortunate to have a place to be able to take old electronic items and have them environmentally recycled.  Midwest Recycling Center (MRC) located at 1327 MO-179
Jefferson City, MO, can take many types of old electronics and get them out of your house the right way.  

You can bring by nearly anything that uses a power cord or battery to drop off for recycling, including appliances, and most electronics can be recycled for free! Refer to our Jefferson City drop-off hours above. We can help you unload your vehicle (especially if you have something heavy), and can provide certificates of proper recycling upon request.

The basic rule at MRC is that we accept almost anything that plugs into a wall, or takes batteries (even if they are broken)

While many items can be recycled for free, we must charge recycling fees for TVs, some computer monitors, and items containing Freon, such as Refrigerators and AC Units, as well as Alkaline Batteries, Ink/Toner Cartridges, and Magnetic and Optical media.

I have attached their fee list as of July 21st, 2023 below.
