Tomorrow is the last chance to recycle your old, unwanted electronic equipment!

Help protect our natural resources and safeguard the environment by participating in the e-scrap recycling collections in Frankfort. 

Tomorrow you can drop off your personal e-scrap in a “drive-thru” style collection at the state office building located at 275 East Main Street, which predominantly houses the Cabinet for Health and Family Services.  Participants will be able to remain in their vehicles while the unwanted electronics are unloaded and recycled in an environmentally friendly way.  Please use the entrance on Martin Luther King Blvd.  It will be clearly marked with signs and below is a map of the drop off location.   

Collection hours will be:

7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.

11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

E-scrap includes "end-of-life" electronic equipment: telephones and cell phones; computers and associated equipment such as keyboards, computer mice, cables and speakers; audio/stereo gear; VCRs; DVD players; video game consoles; fax machines; printers; and iPods.  Due to a lack of resources, we will not be accepting televisions, monitors, refrigerators or mini-refrigerators.
