How To Recycle Your Electronics in Washington
1. Find a responsible recycler in your state - Use an e-Steward
Your best option is to bring your products to a responsible recycler who is part of the e-Steward network. E-Stewards are recyclers who have been qualified under the Basel Action Network's pledge program, who agree to operate under strict environmental controls, to follow worker safety protections, and to not export toxic e-waste to developing countries. (Starting in 2010, the e-Steward program will be an audited certification program.)
Here are the responsible recyclers - e-Stewards - in your state.
