Recycling & Disposal Guide: Hair Dryers, Curling Irons & Flat Irons

✅ Recycling Options:

♻️ Electronics Recycling Programs:

• Hair dryers, curling irons, and flat irons contain electrical components, metals, and plastics that can often be recycled at e-waste collection sites.

• Check with local electronics recycling facilities, Best Buy, Staples, or municipal e-waste programs for drop-off locations.

• Some brands and salons offer take-back programs for old hair styling tools.

🔋 Cord Removal & Scrap Metal Recycling:

• If accepted, remove power cords and recycle them at scrap metal recycling centers.

• Some scrap yards accept metal components from styling tools.

🚫 Do NOT Dispose of in Regular Trash

• Avoid landfill disposal—electronics contain materials that do not decompose and may leach harmful chemicals.

• Do NOT place in curbside recycling bins unless your local program specifically accepts small appliances.

🌿 Sustainable Alternative: Consider purchasing refurbished or energy-efficient hair styling tools to reduce waste. ♻️
