E-Waste
San Diego E-Waste has a business philosophy of embracing the approach of reviving our environment by merging the health and conservation sectors which will encourage a healthy lifestyle and promote environmental awareness for all participants. Since the new law was instituted in February of 2006 making it illegal to dump electronic devices in California landfills, the electronic recycling business is growing slowly in the short term, but once the EPA launches its 2007 national electronic recycling campaign, additional collectors will emerge and the state will allow more goods to be recycled

ABOUT US CONTACT US WHAT WE COLLECT WHAT IS E-WASTE PRIVACY POLICY San Diego E-Waste, LLc
The term e-waste (electronic waste) is applied to all waste from or caused by electronics, which is often toxic waste. It is a major concern with respect to wireless technology and computers, which are readily discarded due to rapid technological change, low initial cost and planned obsolescence. Various solutions including recycling, re-use and the standardization of technologies for less rapid obsolecence are applied.
В 
Hundreds of thousands of computers, monitors, copiers, fax machines, printers, televisions, and other electronic items become "obsolete" in the eyes of consumers. Rapid advances in technology and an expanding demand for new features accelerate the generation of "old" electronic equipment ("e-waste"). The result is a growing challenge for businesses, residents, and local governments as they search for ways to reuse, recycle, or properly dispose of this equipment.
Covered Electronic Waste Payment System (SB 20/SB 50)
Information Regarding the Electronic Waste Recycling Fee Starting January 1, 2005, retailers collect the Electronic Waste Recycling Fee on covered electronic devices from consumers. Retailers remit these fees to the Board of Equalization (BOE). The latest information on the Electronic Waste Recycling Fee program, including the retailer registration form and fee remittance deadlines, are available now at: www.boe.ca.gov/sptaxprog/ewaste.htm. Retailers can also subscribe to receive periodic e-mail notices from BOE about the program.
The Implementation Process
The Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) are working together to implement this important legislation. During this process, information will be available through this website.
Statutes, Regulations, and Related Issues
Laws and policies concerning the proper management of electronic product discards are evolving rapidly. Since certain components of electronic devices may be considered hazardous due to heavy metal or other constituents, the end-of-life handling of some electronic discards is regulated by either federal (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act--RCRA) or State (Health and Safety Code) hazardous waste laws, or both. New regulations regarding the proper management of Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) found in computer monitors and televisions were recently approved in 2005.
