Study shows that 35 million pounds of e-waste are still sitting in California
homes and businesses.  Less than 29% of e-waste is currently properly
dismantled and/or recycled.  Electronic discard is one of the fastest
growing segments of our nation's waste stream.  70% of heavy metals, 40%
of lead and mercury contents found in today's landfills are from e-waste. June
12, 2009, new federal mandate requires that television stations switch from
analog format to digital format, which means a greater number of televisions
will become obsolete within the next several years.



E-waste includes: electronic products or devices that have reached their useful
end, whether in working condition or not. We accept Computer Monitors,
 Television sets, PC Systems, Printers, Laptops, Copiers, Scanners, Fax
Machines, Toner Cartridges, UPS & PDAs, Power Supplies, Main Frame Units,
Networking Equipment, Mother Board Systems, VCR/VCD/DVD Players, Home
Entertainment Systems, Landline and Cellular Phones, & Small Portable Devices.
 We also accept car and forklift batteries.  There is a $5.00 service
fee for Microwave Ovens.
