A special category of hazardous waste, known as electronic (e-waste) or universal waste poses a lower risk to people and the environment than other types of household hazardous waste but becomes hazardous upon disposal. The general rule of thumb is that any electronic device with a circuit board or plug should be considered universal/electronic waste.
Universal/electronic (e-waste) items that can be disposed at the SMaRT Station® include:
- Cell phones
- Televisions, computer monitors (limit 4)
- Computers and peripherals
- Microwaves
- Fluorescent bulbs, tubes and coils
Other Electronic waste disposal options:
Do not place universal/e-waste or other household hazardous waste in your garbage, recycling or yard trimmings carts!
