Electronic Waste

Electronic hazardous waste (e-waste) is generated by almost every individual, institution and business. Many types of electronic products used in the workplace and homes contain hazardous substances like lead and mercury. When these products reach the end of their usefulness or become obsolete, they may be considered hazardous waste.

Hazardous waste may not be discarded in the regular trash. It must be sent to a facility that has a permit for treatment (including recycling), storage or disposal. Wastes are hazardous waste when they exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: if they are toxic, ignitable, corrosive or reactive. Many electronic wastes exhibit toxicity characteristics due to the presence of lead.
