Electronic Waste
Studies have indicated the disposal of electronic waste has become a serious global issue.  Many electronic devices contain individual compenents made with hazardous constituents, primarily heavy metals.  Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) found in color televisions and color computer monitors contain significant amounts of lead.  Printed circuit boards and complex circuitry found in computers and other electronic devices may contain lead, chromium, and silver.  In addition to this, some older computers contain mercury switches and many kinds of electronic devices contain batteries including nickel-cadmium, lithium, or sealed lead acid.

Electronics discarded in our landfills releases toxins and pollutes our environment and are therefore considered hazardous waste.  The Colorado Hazardous Waste Act states that any person who violates the provision of 25-15-308 or any compliance order issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment may be subject to an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day per violation and to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day per violation.
