Resources for electronics recycling
What is electronic waste?
E-waste is an informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their “useful life.” E-waste usually has a screen or a circuit board. Look for products with digital displays & programmable features. Examples include TVs, DVD players, stereos, tablets, cell phones, office equipment, computer equipment, and consumer electronics.
Why should waste electronics be recycled?
Electronic devices contain a variety of materials, including metals that can be recovered for recycling. Recycling your waste electronics saves resources because new metals don't have to be mined.
In addition, electronic devices contain high enough levels of certain materials, such as lead, that render them hazardous waste when disposed. Hazardous wastes cannot be disposed of in the garbage.
