Electronic waste represents one of the fastest growing and hazardous components of California's waste stream.

Hazardous Electronics are those with cathode ray tubes (CRTs) like televisions and computer monitors. A typical CRT contains between two and five pounds of lead. If products containing lead are disposed in the trash, the lead can potentially contaminate the soil and leach into our water supplies.

The National Safety Council estimates that 10,000 computers and televisions become obsolete in California every day.
