Did you know...that e-waste (obsolete electronic products) makes up one of the fastest growing segments of our nation’s waste stream? We dispose of 142,000 computers and over 416,000 mobile devices every day! Why is this a concern? E-waste represents 2% of America's trash in landfills, but it contains 70% of the toxic waste. These toxins can pollute water, soil and air without proper disposal, and can cause cancer and many other health problems. What can we do about E-waste? E-cycling! E-cycling provides a way to dispose of electronics safely. Plan to “E-rase Your E-waste” at our county-wide free e-cycling event. This event will provide us with an environmentally friendly alternative to dumping our e-waste in the local landfill.
