e-waste

Yes that's electronic waste and I find myself in the position of having some to dispose and not wanting to landfill it. Here's the letter I wrote to the BCC today (Tuesday). Currently waiting on a reply.

I have a collection (6) of old non-working PC monitors and I would like them disposed of in an environmentally friendly way rather than see them converted into toxic landfill.

When is the next e-waste collection day scheduled so that I may dispose of my hazardous toxic waste safely?

I have contacted SIMS directly and they wish to charge $13 per monitor. With six monitors this makes $78 which is cost-prohibitive for me.

I feel the BCC needs to take the issue of recycling e-waste seriously and provide residents with the opportunity to recycle at the earliest possible convenience.

Thank you for your time
