Help our City get rid of E-Waste the right way by sending it to a proper recycling process and not into the landfills!

• Electronic discard is one of the fastest growing segments of this nations waste stream.
• 56% of American households have functional e-products that they no longer use.
• 70% of heavy metals, 40% of lead and mercury contents found in  today's landfills come from E-Waste.
• New federal mandate requires that television stations switch from analog format to digital format, which means a greater number of televisions, will become obsolete within the next several years.
