E-Waste
Millions of unwanted, obsolete, or unusable electronics are thrown away every year. Today’s latest and greatest machine will eventually break down, or no longer fill the user’s needs. But the computers and televisions we dispose of become part of a fast growing type of waste called e-waste. But the good news is that over 97% of computer components can be reused or recycled, preventing their hazardous chemicals from polluting our landfills. One of the largest contributors to the hazardous waste problem is cathode ray tube monitors. Each monitor contains from five to eight pounds of lead, and other parts contain heavy metals such as mercury, silver and chromium.
With the passage of the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003, particular measures were established to regulate how electronic waste streams are recovered and recycled. Because this legislation can be arcane, and can change unpredictably, it pays to have a qualified company to assist you.
