ELECTRONICS RECYCLING:


UNIVERSAL WASTE DISPOSAL
On February 8, 2006, a new law took effect that prohibits putting universal waste into the trash. Universal Waste
can harm human health and the environment if they are improperly disposed of, includes the following:

Electronic waste:
Computers, computer peripherals, telephones, cell phones, answering machines, radios, stereo equipment,
tape players/recorders, phonographs, VCR’s, CD players/recorders, calculators,  and microwave ovens.
Mercury-containing waste:
Fluorescent tubes, thermostats, high-intensity discharge lamps, sodium vapor lamps, and metal halide lamps.
Consumer batteries:
Rechargeable, alkaline, NiCad, lithium, silver button and mercury.
Place household batteries in clear plastic bags, tie a knot on the top and place on top of your bottle and cans
in their recycling container.  When the can and bottles are sorted the workers will take out the batteries.
