Discarding old electronic equipment in landfills or incineration not only wastes valuable resources but also releases potentially hazardous materials into the environment via leachate and toxic air emissions.

In addition to environmental and health concerns, improper disposal of your old equipment or for illegal dumping you could be subject you to EPA violations for the improper disposal of your old equipment or for illegal dumping.
