E-Waste, Hazardous Waste & How to Dispose
- 6 days ago
- 1 min read
E-Waste, short for electronic waste, is simply a term for electronic products nearing or at the end of their "useful life."
Did you know the City has a Municipal Solid Waste Complex?
It does and it's located on the corner of 407 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Georgia Avenue, just outside the fence on Georgia Avenue (behind Stuart Middle School).
The E-Waste Recycling Center is open 24 hours. If you're a City resident or business, simply drop off electronics at your convenience.
Why is it important to recycle electronics?
Proper disposal is important because E-Waste can be hazardous. Electronic devices form a complex mixture of material and components, often containing hundreds of different substances, many of which are toxic and create serious pollution upon disposal. When electronics are discarded improperly, these hazardous toxins can seep into the groundwater, be mobilized into our rivers, our wildlife and to us.
