2. What do Electronics Contain?
Computers, monitors,
and printers contain
hazardous materials,
such as lead, mercury,
and cadmium.
While they are safe to
use, they are harmful
to the environment if
not disposed of
correctly.
3. EPEAT Products
When buying
electronics, look for
products rated as
EPEAT(the global registry
for greener electronics).
EPEAT products use less
harmful materials, more
recycled content, are
energy efficient, and are
easily recycled.
4. Disposing of Electronics
You can recycle
unwanted electronics
through drop-off or
mail-back programs.
Manufacturers of
electronics will usually
use drop-off or mail-
back programs to
recycle their products.
5. Drop-off & Mail-back Programs
Drop-off programs can
be found at your local
electronic retail store.
Mail-back recycling
programs often allow
you to ship products
for free or for a
minimal rebate.

If your electronics are
still useable but
