Electronics Waste Update
The Integrated Waste Management Board baseline study on electronic waste (e-waste) was released Wednesday, December 12, 2001.

The study, conducted for the Board by MGT of America, was designed to provide current data on selected E-waste volume, diversion cost estimates, and processing capacity for the year 2006. The study revealed that approximately 2.9 million TVs (74,000 tons) and 3.2 million computer monitors (48,000 tons) are stockpiled in California households. In addition, the study points to possible problems with processing capacity over the next few years.
