    It is estimated that more than 25 percent of all the lead in landfills today comes from consumer electronics components. Because consumer electronics contain hazardous substances, many states require that they be disposed of as hazardous waste.

    Computers are no exception. Monitors contain several carcinogens and phosphors, as well as mercury and lead. The computer itself may contain several lubricants and chemicals as well as lead. Printers contain plastics and chemicals such as toners and inks that are also hazardous. All of these items should be disposed of properly.

  • Each type of equipment or supply that has a potential environmental risk associated with it has a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) , available from the manufacturer or from the Environmental Protection Agency ( www.epa.gov ). This document details the proper handling and disposal of the item.
