ATTENTION: E-Waste Collection Suspended

As of March 19, 2025, Solana Center for Environmental Innovation's e-waste collection program has been paused until further notice. A City of Encinitas ordinance prevents our organization from operating e-waste collection within the city limits. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Please continue to utilize other resources to keep e-waste out of the landfill listed here
