Electronics

Electronic waste has become and will continue to be an issue of national importance.  The stockpile of used or obsolete electronic products continues to grow. The National Safety Council projects that nearly 250 million computers will become obsolete in the next five years. Computer monitors and older television picture tubes contain an average of four to eight pounds of lead and require special handling. In addition, electronics can contain hazardous metals and brominated flame retardants  When electronics are not disposed or recycled properly, these toxic materials can present both health and environmental problems.  Extending the life of electronics or the donation of working electronics can save money and valuable resources.  Safely recycling outdated electronics can promote the safe management of hazardous components and supports the recovery and reuse of valuable materials.
