Community Collection Events
Community Drop-Off & Collection Support
SEAM partners with municipalities, schools, and organizations across South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and beyond to host secure electronics collection events. These programs give residents a safe, accessible way to recycle their electronics while protecting sensitive data and keeping devices out of the wrong hands.

Protecting Residents and Communities
Old electronics don’t belong in the trash. Many contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium that can contaminate soil and water if landfilled or incinerated.
To prevent this, many cities and states have adopted legislation banning electronics from landfills. For example, the City of Sioux Falls prohibited electronics from the regional landfill back in 2004—a move that mirrors rules being implemented across the Upper Midwest.
By working with SEAM, communities can:
-
- Keep harmful materials out of landfills
- Ensure devices are recycled or reused responsibly
- Provide residents with a convenient, local drop-off option
- Demonstrate community leadership in sustainability and public health
