So the story goes...
Buy:Consumers buy electronic devices such as Computers, Monitors, TVs and other Electronics that contain toxic materials and enjoy the technology they have to offer as long as they continue to work.
Die: When these electronic products we so enjoyed come to the ‘end of their useful lives’ obsolete, replaced by newer technology or simply no longer attractive against the new generation, we all did what? We simply threw them in the trash! These items are referred to as E-Waste.
Did you know that disposing of this E-Waste has been and more than ever now, Illegal?
Why: E-waste contains toxic chemicals that if not handled properly can cause serious environmental hazards and health problems.  It became noticeably serious enough for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate this issue.  Yes, today it’s not just about a few wanting to preserve this great states land and beautiful coastal waters, but now everyone is aware of the problem. It’s called SB20.  This new California regulation signed by Arnold Schwarzenegger was finalized in 2007 and is enforceable with large fines including criminal penalties.  

It’s the law, why risk it?

The Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) is the lead agency in California for hazardous waste management who enforces the hazardous waste control laws. When TVs and Monitors (CRTs) are simply dumped into our Landfills and compromised, chemicals such as lead when wet can leach into our soils and travel, creating serious environmental and health hazards.
TV’s and Monitors contain from 4-10 lbs of lead (depending on their size).  Brominated flame retardants are commonly added to plastics used in electronics. Others contain mercury, hexavalent chromium in circuit boards and color cathode ray tubes. Truly, this doesn’t sound like the foundation of soil we want our children’s future built on and that’s why now is the time to stop it by working together.
