About E-Waste Disposal
Electronic Waste (E-Waste) is common electronic products such as computers, monitors, keyboards, televisions, cell phones, VCRs, DVD players, other electronic equipment that is no longer functional or operational. Electronic equipment may contain heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury, and cadmium) and other toxic materials that can become hazardous to human health and the environment.
When electronic equipment breaks or becomes obsolete, it must be properly disposed or recycled. Do not place any electronic equipment in the trash, hallways or loading docks, even if it is broken.
