Each year in California hundreds of thousands of computers, monitors, copiers, fax machines, printers, televisions, and other electronic items become "obsolete" in the eyes of consumers. Rapid advances in technology and an expanding demand for new features accelerate the generation of "old" electronic equipment ("e-waste"). The result is a growing challenge for businesses, residents, and local governments as they search for ways to reuse, recycle, or properly dispose of this equipment.

To meet this challenge, many communities are initiating electronic product collection programs, manufacturers are developing recycling programs for their customers, and innovative reuse and recycling companies are finding new uses for the old equipment.

Many components of electronic equipment--including metals, plastic, and glass--can be reused or recycled, while others may present environmental hazards if not managed correctly. This Web site provides information and resources on how to properly manage your electronic products.
