A news release says:

Cohen Recycling will be collecting electronic items like laptops, audio equipment, printers, and computers for free, but there will be a small fee to recycle TVs and CRT monitors. The City's Office of Environment & Sustainability, Rumpke Recycling, Hamilton County Recycling, and the Oakley Recycles Project will be on hand to answer questions about curbside recycling, getting rid of hazardous waste, and more.
