Nastes Banned From The Trash Page 3 of 3 <br /> How do I know if a particular electronic device can't be thrown in the trash? <br /> The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has tested many electronic devices <br /> including: tube-type and flat panel televisions and computer monitors, laptop computers, <br /> computers central processing units (CPU), printers, radios, microwave ovens, video cassette <br /> recorders (VCR), cell phones, cordless phones, and telephone answering machines. The <br /> devices that DTSC tested contained concentrations of metals (lead and copper) high enough <br /> to make them hazardous wastes when they are discarded. Unless you are sure they are <br /> not hazardous, you should presume these types of devices need to be recycled or <br /> disposed of as hazardous waste and that they may not be thrown in the trash. <br /> Last updated: February 16, 2006 <br /> Used Oil & Household Hazardous Waste Program http;.[[www.ci.w.mbc.a.gov HHW <br /> Contact: UsedOilH.HW_@ciwmb.ca�ov (916) 341-6690 <br /> ©1995, 2006 California Integrated Waste Management Board.
