The expectation when you put out trash for pickup by the city is that the garbage will be disposed of in a responsible manner. Most of the garbage ends up going to a landfill. Thanks to improvements in landfill regulations those designated dumping areas are a lot safer today than they were decades ago. Even with all of the safeguards put into place there are still a lot of materials that should never go to a landfill. That is why a robust recycling program can have a major impact on the environment. Nowhere is that more vital than with e-waste disposal.

Old electronics should never and up in a landfill because those components can break down and cause the release of potentially toxic chemicals. Your instinct to hold onto old computers, televisions and DVD players is a good one. But you don’t have to hold onto them forever.
