Federal and state regulations regarding electronic
waste specifically require businesses and organizations to
dispose of non-working and obsolete products in an
environmentally sound manner. These regulations are meant to
prevent selected high technology products from ending up in
landfills where toxic elements could leach into the water
stream. Call 949 466 8857 for an immediate quote for disposal

Government
Regulations |
State and Federal environmental agencies have determined that
certain non-working and obsolete electronic products must be
treated as hazardous waste if intended for disposal. Monitors
and terminals contain from 4 to 8 pounds of lead, and fail the
TCLP test for toxicity. Circuit boards in electronic products
contain lead solder, mercury, and cadmium which also often
fail the TCLP test. These items should be disposed of in an
environmentally sound manner.
The key points of most state and federal regulations are:
- All non-working /obsolete computer products should be
disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
- Monitors and terminals are always a hazardous waste (or
household hazardous waste, if from household use).
- Other components of a computer system (e.g., circuit
boards, keyboards, mice, printers) could be hazardous
depending on their lead, mercury, or cadmium content, which
can vary from product to product and even from production
run to production run.
- The generator continues to be responsible for product
improperly disposed of through non-recycling channels.
- Donated equipment must be operational and for continued
use.
- Storage for over 90-180 days may be a violation.
- Substantial penalties may apply for non-compliance.
