e-Waste Collection Week is back March 27-31! Don't miss your chance to give old electronics the boot! Did you know? 

• We generate around 40 million tons of electronic waste every year, worldwide. That’s the equivalent of throwing out 800 laptops every second.
• E-waste contains hundreds of substances, many of which are toxic. This includes mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, selenium, chromium, and flame retardants.
• Most e-waste components can be re-used and recycled for materials recovery, thereby reducing the need to mine and extract precious metals from our earth.
