What is E-Waste?

E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled.

With the passage of the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003, certain portions of the electronic waste stream are defined and the systems to recover and recycle them will be administratively regulated beyond the universal waste rules that apply to material handling. Please review CalRecycle's efforts to implement the Act for more information.

A message from CalRecycle:
Thank you for Recycling Your Electronic Waste!

In California, you have many opportunities to recycle your unwanted electronic waste (e-waste) with an authorized collector at no charge. When you recycle your old televisions and computer monitors, the collector has to be sure the equipment came from within our state. Here’s what you need to know:

Your Name? Address? WHY WE ASK…

The State of California gives financial assistance to collectors of e-waste to help cover the cost of recycling. In order to receive this assistance, the collector has to make sure the e-waste came from California. By providing your name and address, you protect our state’s e-waste recycling program. A CalRecycle e-waste representative may contact you to confirm that you were the source of what was recycled. If you receive a call from CalRecycle, it is only to check that you submitted e-waste for recycling. Your cooperation is appreciated if you are contacted.

Important information for all Californians: Due to toxic materials inside some electronic products such as computer monitors, laptop computers, and TVs, it’s against the law to throw electronic waste in the trash. So thank you for doing the right thing for the environment by responsibly recycling your unwanted e-waste!
