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