E-Scrap Recycling

CyberCycle, Louisville Metro’s electronic recycling program, was the first year round Cyrus McCircuit Fullelectronics recycling program in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Cyrus McCircuit is the program's spokesperson and his message to you is "RECYCLE WHAT YOU REPLACE."

The program is available to all Louisville Metro residents and businesses and is both convenient and environmentally friendly.

Electronics contain a variety of hazardous metals, such as cadmium and lead, that require special handling. Computer monitors can contain as much as 27% lead by weight. Components on circuit boards can contain acids and PCBs which must be processed and kept out of the environment. Electronics also contain plastic, steel and valuable metals such as gold and copper that can easily be recovered and reused.

Acceptable items for the CyberCycle program include computers, scanners, printers, monitors, tape and disk drives, electronic game systems, VCRs, CD players, digital cameras, copiers, cell phones, CD's and floppy disks.  Commercial-sized copiers, servers and printers will be considered as business equipment and charged accordingly.
BIG NEWS!  Television sets are NOW accepted!!

Residents will be allowed to dispose of three items or systems per visit at no charge. (A system is a computer, monitor, keyboard, printer, and external drive.)
