RECYCLING RESOURCES
E-Waste
What is electronic waste?
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.

rechargeable), they also take old fluorescent light bulbs and cell phones.
Cell Phones
Californians Against Waste: On July 1, 2005, two new CAW sponsored

requires retailers to take-back and recycle old cell phones, and AB 1125

your cell phone carrier to recycle your old phone.
