RRR Ideas - Electronic Recycling

Don't throw out that cell phone or computer monitor when you upgrade!!!

· 1/2 billion computers will end up in your local landfills - computers tossed out between 1997 and 2007

· electronic waste represents five percent or 3.2 million tons of the U.S. municipal waste stream

· consumer electronics constitute 40 % of lead found in landfills - Glass screens, or CRTs in televisions and computer screens contain as much as 27 percent lead

· in California, over $1.2 billion will be spent on E-Waste disposal over the next five years

Household & business electronics
such as T.V.'s, fax machines, printers, monitors,
cell phones, microwave ovens and stereo systems
don't belong in Landfills!
