What To Do With Return to A-Z Guide
Cameras, not working
Cameras (digital or not) that are not working are accepted at the Drop-Off Station and Recovery Yard.

Cameras should not be put in curbside recycling bins because they contain too many different types of metal and plastic.

Try repairing first!
