What does E-Waste mean?
E-Waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of
their useful life. Computers, televisions, VCR’s, DVD Players, stereos, copies, fax
machines are common electronic products.
Is “E-Waste” considered hazardous?
Certain components of some electronic products contain materials that render
them hazardous. It depends on their condition and density. CRT’s (cathode ray
tubes) from televisions and monitors could be hazardous. Most states consider
nonfunctioning items like this to be hazardous.
What should I do with my electronic waste?
This is where the three R’s come in to place. The mantra of “Reduce, Reuse, and
Recycle” applies here.
~ Reduce your generation of e-waste through smart procurement and good
maintenance.
~ Reuse still functioning electronic equipment by donating it to some who can
still use it.
~ Recycle those products that cannot be repaired. This is where Magic City Eco
Recycling comes in to play.
