How do you get 50-100 people to attend a recycling workshop??
Talk about something somewhat “controversial”

What makes electronics recycling “controversial?”
Toxic components Lots in storage Lack of current affordable options Disagreement over who should pay Ultimate disposal after reuse/recycling

SWIX’s Involvement
Southern Waste Information eXchange or SWIX is a non-profit information clearinghouse
Were recently contracted with EPA Region 4 to put on a southeast regional electronics recycling workshop in Atlanta
We brought that program to NC

Toxicity
Disproportionately large amount of toxicity relative to the tons of waste generated.
Lead in monitors is most concerning
