ELECTRONIC WASTE COLLECTION EVENT Saturday, November 6th

The fastest growing type of trash in the United States is electronic waste: computers, TVs and other consumer electronics. Cathode tubes found in most computer monitors and televisions contain significant amounts of lead while other equipment may contain mercury, cadmium, chromium and other heavy metals. When electronic devices are land filled, these pollutants may pose environmental risks.

Bring your Electronic Waste and safely dispose of it at the Midtown & Southtown E-Waste Collection.
