What is Electronic Waste?

- These items can contain lead and other heavy metals and should not be put in the landfill where they may leak and contaminate the watershed
- E-Waste is NOT smoke detectors, batteries, and mercury bulbs. These are household hazardous waste (HHW)
- Colorado law prohibits anyone from disposing of electronic waste into a landfill
