Sustainable Belmont: E-Waste

The United States is the world leader in producing electronic waste, tossing away about 3 million tons each year.  Electrical waste contains hazardous but also valuable and scarce materials. As with many environmental problems there are real opportunities to be had in the solutions.

Those attending this discussion are welcome to drop-off any styrofoam packaging that might have accumulated over the holidays.  Sustainable Belmont will deliver the styrofoam to a recycling facility that deals with this material.
