E-waste is a short form of electronic waste. It includes a wide range of electronics items such as laptops, TVs, routers, smartphones, keyboards, and storage devices that are at the end of useful life or damaged. Disposing of e-waste is a big challenge as it contains hazardous substances. You cannot simply dump it in the curbside bin and get rid of it. This will incur penalties. You need to dispose of it properly using legal household e-waste recycling ways. 

Here are the three ways to dispose of hazardous household e-waste:

^{Free Drop Off} 

Free drop-off is the most popular way of residential e-waste disposal. All you have to do is collect all the e-waste, load it on the truck, and carry it to the free drop-off recycling center. Find the free drop-off center in your area, ask for the working days and opening hours, and items they accept. You can search for the term ‘household hazardous waste disposal near me’ to find a facility near you. Most of the electronic items are accepted for free, but for some, you may have to pay the recycling fee.  

^{Contact Retailer Store or Donate It}  

You can also get rid of your e-waste by asking the retailer to accept it back or donating it if it is in good condition. Many retailers accept old electronic items. You can ask and handover it to the retailer. If your old electronic items are in good condition, you can contact charitable organizations and local NGOs to donate them.

^{Residential Electronics Recycling Services} 

If you are not the type of guy who wants to mess with the e-waste, you can hire professional residential electronics recycling services. It is the most convenient method to get rid of your e-waste. Professionals come to your place, clear all the clutter, transport the waste to the recycling center, destroy the storage devices, and recycle the e-waste.
