What is e-Waste?

Electronic waste consists of any consumer or business electronic device that has become "obsolete" or is nearing it's useful life in the eyes of the consumer. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled. Unfortunately, electronic discards is one of the fastest growing segments of our nation's waste stream. Electronic waste consists of electronic items such as: computers, monitors, copiers, fax machines, stereos, mp3 players, printers, or televisions.  Other items may also be classified as e-waste.

Be sure to get all the information on electronics and disposal options at the time of purchase.  Many electronics stores and product manufacturers have their own collection and recycling initiatives!
