Recycling electronics

Certain electronic products contain potentially hazardous materials, such as lead and mercury, that can pose a risk to human health and the environment if not properly managed. Some states also ban electronic products from landfills or incinerators. Amazon supports the responsible disposal and recycling of electronics products.

Amazon Devices

Amazon device recycling options can be found by visiting our recycling program page by following this link: Amazon Device Recycle.

Amazon recognizes the importance of recycling electronic equipment at the end of its useful life, which is why we support the responsible disposal and recycling of electronics products and offer a recycling program for electronic items including Amazon devices and selected accessories. In some areas, the disposal of rechargeable batteries and certain electronic devices is regulated, so please make sure you dispose of Amazon devices, accessories, batteries and other regulated electronic devices in accordance with your local laws and regulations.
