E-waste is any household appliance with a plug, cord or battery. This includes any household electrical items such as televisions, computers, tablets, printers, vacuum cleaners, toasters, hair dryers, video and DVD players, electrical tools or electronic toys.
It is important that E-Waste is recycled properly so that valuable materials are recovered, any potential ignition sources are moved from waste streams. E-Waste is banned from being disposed to landfill.
