The U.S Environment Protection Agency states electronic waste is now the fastest-growing segment of our nation’s waste. Electronic waste, from computers to TVs, contain toxic materials such as lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury, beryllium, nickel, zinc, and other potentially harmful chemicals. The EPA warns when electronics that contain these materials are not recycled or are not disposed of properly; the hazardous chemicals can contaminate the groundwater and present additional environmental concerns.
The State of Illinois electronic waste landfill ban is now a state law. Under this state law, electronic waste cannot be collected with household
refuse / waste.
