RECYCLING RESOURCES                      
E-Waste
What is electronic waste?
  • Televisions, Computers, Monitors and Other Items w/ CRTs
  • Computer-related Electronics (i.e. key boards, laptops, mice, disk
    drives, printers)
  • Brown Goods (larger, non portable electronics; microwaves, stereos,
    VCRs, DVD players)
  • Other small consumer electronics (portable non-computer related
    electronic; PDAs, cell phones, camcorders, digital cameras)
  • Batteries (all types of batteries, including dry cell and lead acid)

Why recycle?
Most consumer electronics contain valuable materials like copper, gold and
zinc, which can and should be recycled.  Increasing the recycling rate of all
electronic devices is not only imperative for protecting public health, but also
for conserving natural resources. The challenge for California and the rest of
the planet is educating consumers, developing a convenient infrastructure
and covering the costs.

Where can you safely dispose of your used electronic goods?
Goodwill retail stores and attended donation sites are accepting used TV's,
laptop computers, computer monitors and cell phones (in any condition).
These items contain hazardous materials that require special care for
disposal.
Goodwill has been certified by the State of California to collect electronic
waste from California residents.

Batteries
Walmart: As you enter the store they have a drop off box for used household
batteries and cell phones. Or contact your local disposal company and they
may have a drop-off location.

OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware): Take all your old batteries (dry cell and
rechargeable), they also take old fluorescent light bulbs and cell phones.

Cell Phones
Californians Against Waste: On July 1, 2005, two new CAW sponsored
electronic waste recycling laws went into effect in California. AB 2901
requires retailers to take-back and recycle old cell phones, and AB 1125
requires retailers to take-back and recycle rechargeable batteries. Contact
your cell phone carrier to recycle your old phone.

Cell Phones for Soldiers: Donate your old cell phones for free talk time for
our soldiers (serving all branches of the US Military), they provide free
postage-paid mailers.

Call2Recyle: Recycle rechargeable batteries and cell phones. Find all
locations by city/zip code (Apple Retail Store, Best Buy, Home Depot,
Cingular Wireless, CompUSA, Fry's Electronics, K-Mart, others - see listing
