Free Electronics Recycling in Ulster County

The other day, we were asked by a friend to help get rid of some old office equipment. Of course! But honestly, I wasn’t sure where we could recycle them. Luckily, the wife did: The Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency (UCRRA).

Located right off Route 199 from the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, it was an easy in-n-out trip for our small load of electronics. There is also a UCRRA location in New Paltz (charges 40-cents per pound for e-waste, for New Paltz residents only).

Electronics recycling at the UCRRA is free, and open to residents of any county. Check-in at the administration office, let them know what you’re recycling, they’ll ask you what town you’re from, and then drop off the items (no bags) in a large container right in the parking lot in front of the building.

Additional waste disposal and composting is also available at the site (for a fee). No hazardous waste is accepted.

COVID-19 Update: Electronics are now ONLY accepted on Saturdays from 7am-3pm at the Main Office. No electronics are accepted on weekdays or holidays. Please click here for a list of accepted and not accepted items. Please note the list of items have changed.
