Recycle your E-Waste
Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. Most e-waste products contain high levels of toxic elements that are prohibited for disposal in landfills. If not properly disposed of, the toxins e-waste products contain, such as lead and mercury, can seep into the groundwater supply. This event promotes to safely and environmentally recycle obsolete electronics, which helps keep our groundwater clean.
