Sunapee announces computer and electronics recycling event July 25

Sunapee residents clearing out old computers, printers and other office electronics will get a one-day drop-off option at the Sunapee Transfer Station on Saturday, July 25, when the Town of Sunapee and the Sunapee School District host a computer and electronics recycling event from 8 a.m. to noon.

The event is designed to keep unwanted equipment out of household storage and out of the trash stream, while giving families, landlords and small businesses a local way to dispose of outdated technology responsibly. If weather interferes, the rain date is Saturday, Aug. 8.

Access is limited to Sunapee and Springfield residents who have a current transfer station sticker. Town transfer-station materials say Springfield residents with valid stickers may use Sunapee Transfer Station facilities, while residents from other towns are welcome to participate for a $35 fee. Businesses, landlords and anyone bringing 5 gallons or 25 pounds or more must pre-register two weeks in advance for a price quote.

Residents will not need to sort or package the load before arriving. The flyer says accepted items include computers, laptops, servers, LCD monitors and TVs, switches, routers, modems, networking equipment, printers, copy machines, fax machines, scanners, projectors, tablets, speakers, toner cartridges, phones, memory cards, video cards, hard drives, tape drives, keyboards, mice, cords, cables and accessories.

Several common household items are not accepted. The list includes CRT TVs and CRT monitors, microwaves, refrigerators, vacuums, office furniture, VCR/DVD players and other non-electronic appliances. That makes the event especially useful for residents with older equipment that cannot simply be mixed into regular curbside waste.

The town’s transfer-station ordinance materials say authorized users are permitted by permit only, and enforcement can include prohibiting access and reporting violations. The transfer-station brochure also warns that fines may be issued for unauthorized disposal, underscoring that the event is part of a broader compliance system, not just a convenience pickup.

Jon Reed at the school district is listed as the contact for more information. Sunapee held a similar Electronics Recycling Day at the same transfer station on July 19, 2025, continuing a local effort that gives households a clear place to clear out obsolete electronics before summer cleanup season gets into full swing.
