Why Recycle Electronic Waste (E-Waste)?

Electronic equipment is made up of a multitude of components which often contain harmful substances, including carcinogens such as lead and arsenic. Therefore, electronic waste should be recycled in order to protect California’s air, ground, and water supplies. In recent years, the disposal of e-waste was rather expensive for California residents, costing anywhere from $15 to $35 per recycled item.

Universal Waste Management, Inc. offers environmentally responsible recycling solutions to California residents and businesses for FREE. Furthermore, UWM is willing to share the waste recovery payments it receives from the state with various schools and non-profit organizations.
