RECYLING OPPORTUNITIES AT EARTH FAIR
This year we will have E-waste and Refrigerant Recycling Available Free of Charge!
ELECTRONICS RECYCLING
As you switch out of the old and welcome the new, please remember to recycle your old electronics responsibly.
Examples of common electronic equipment that must be recycled:
- Computers (desktops, laptops, e-readers, tablets, etc.)
- Computer peripherals (mice, keyboards, monitors, printers, etc.)
- Small electronic equipment (DVR's, DVD players, MP3 players, video game consoles, etc.)
- Televisions
It is illegal to dispose these and other covered electronic equipment (CEE) in the trash under New York's electronic waste law.
To recycle electronics in Kingston, you can place them curbside for a $15 fee (paid before placing curbside) or drop them off at the Transfer Station for FREE. For the 2023 Earth Fair, you can bring them in for free. Find the list of acceptable and non-acceptable e-waste here.
White Goods/Refrigerants Collection
Many household refrigerators and freezers contain chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerant. Many window air-conditioning units and dehumidifiers contain hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant. If released into the environment, these substances destroy the ozone layer, and become potent greenhouse gases. Because of this, refrigerants need to be carefully handled and disposed of by trained professionals.
The City of Kingston regularly accepts disposal of appliances, by appointment with the Department of Public Works for a fee of $25-$35.
As part of Earth Fair 2023, the City will be accepting appliances containing refrigerants for disposal for FREE. For Saturday May 13th only, Kingston residents can bring the following refrigerant containing appliances for safe disposal to TR Gallo Park for FREE:
Window air conditioners
Dehumidifiers
Refrigerators
Freezers
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove refrigerant or compressors yourself. Improperly handled refrigerant may result in physical harm. Only properly trained individuals using EPA-approved refrigerant recovery equipment should attempt to remove refrigerant from appliances. The City works with a properly trained refrigerant recovery recycler.
