Disposing of Electronic Waste

Many types of electronic products used in the workplace and homes contain hazardous substances such as lead and mercury. Products like computers, printers, scanners, digital alarm clocks, monitors, or almost anything with a circuit board can contain these substances.

When these products reach the end of their useful lives -- or become obsolete or broken -- some are considered hazardous waste. In general, hazardous waste may not be discarded in the regular trash. Instead, it must be sent to a facility that has a permit for treatment (including recycling), storage, or disposal.
