As of <br /> February 8, 2006, disposing pf most consumer electronic products (computers, <br /> cell phones, all household batteries, fluorescent lamps, mercury thermostats, <br /> printers, VCRs, telephones, answering machines, radios, and microwaves) at <br /> Class Nl landfills is also prohibited... <br /> Batteries and consumer electronics contain lead, mercury, cadmium and chromium, <br /> which can contaminate the air, water and soil. These products and others have been <br /> classified by the State as universal waste and will have to go to a recycler or a <br /> household hazardous waste facility. Similar regulations have banned TV sets and <br /> computer monitors from the State's landfills since 2001. The term "universal waste' is <br /> used to describe these products because they are found in nearly every home and <br /> business. <br /> This notification is being sent to all solid waste haulers who use San Joaquin County <br /> solid waste disposal facilities. Your cooperation in making this program successful is <br /> appreciated. As a reminder to you, the following Newly Excluded Universal Waste is <br /> prohibited from being landfilled at County operated disposal sites: <br /> • Common batteries such as silver button batteries, AA, AAA, C and D cells, but <br /> not car batteries, which are already regulated, rechargeable nickel-cadmium <br />
