WHY RECYCLE E-WASTE: Recycling and reusing electronic equipment reduces the amount of hazardous materials that may enter the environment including lead, mercury and other toxins. Recycling e-waste also reduces the quantities of electronic scrap that will be land filled in our city and region. A typical television or computer contains four to eight pounds of lead.
The City of Lee’s Summit has collected more than 396,000 pounds
of electronics over the past three years!
