How to get rid of TVs and electronics in Connecticut
Under Connecticut e-waste law, covered electronic devices (CEDs) from households are banned from disposal at solid waste facilities and must be recycled. Municipalities must provide convenient free CED collection (limits apply).
Facts checked against official state and town sources on 2026-11-05.
Statewide context
CEDs include televisions, computers, monitors, and printers (and certain displays over 4 inches). Residents can typically drop 7 or fewer CEDs at a time at the town-designated site. Towns may charge facility access fees only if other free DEEP-approved options exist.
