Burbank Mayor Jess Talamantes will be on hand this Saturday morning from 9:00 to 9:30 am to talk with residents about E-waste. Come properly dispose of your electronic discards (E-waste)! E-waste consists of old or broken computer monitors, television sets, printers, PC systems, mainframe units, copiers, fax machines, scanners, toner cartridges, PDAs, networking equipment, motherboard systems, vcr/dvd/vcd players, home entertainment systems, cellular and landline telephones, and batteries. The event runs from 9 am to 3 pm.
Did you know that –
- Electronic discards are the fastest growing segment of our nation’s waste stream?
- 56% of American households have functional e-products that they no longer use?
- Less than 10% of e-waste is being properly disposed of, dismantled or recycled?
- 70% of heavy metals, 40% of lead and mercury contents found in today’s landfills come from e-waste?
F and H Office Systems and Unity Church are hosting this free electronic waste (E-waste) collection event at their parking lot located at 637 South Victory Blvd., Burbank, CA 91502.
