Reworld and Goodwill Expand Free E-Waste Recycling in Pennsylvania

Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti and local officials gathered at a Goodwill donation center this week to launch a regional electronic waste program. The initiative, a partnership between Reworld and Goodwill Industries of NEPA, provides residents across 11 counties with free, accessible disposal sites for broken or obsolete electronics.

The program utilizes a network of 10 Goodwill stores and three donation centers to collect computers, monitors, printers, and televisions. Items that cannot be resold are processed by Reworld, a company that has recycled over 160 million pounds of e-waste to date. By establishing these permanent drop-off points, the collaboration seeks to eliminate the logistical hurdles and fees that often discourage proper disposal, keeping hazardous materials out of local landfills.

This expansion builds on a successful model previously implemented with Goodwill Industries of Keystone, which diverted 4 million pounds of electronics from the waste stream over the past two years. Beyond simple collection, the program ensures compliance with the Pennsylvania Covered Device Recycling Act and international e-Stewards standards. The initiative is supported by the Manufacturers Recycling Management Company (MRM), which coordinates with electronics manufacturers to fund and regulate the recycling pipeline, reinforcing a commitment to regional environmental stewardship.
