*On Saturday, May 6th the City of Atlanta will have hold an Electronic Waste
Recycling Day 2006* *from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Turner Field* *(Orange

Residents and employees of the City are asked to bring their old household
computers and electronic equipment to this massive recycling event. The
first 100 cars will receive a gift certificate from Best Buy.



This is the fourth year the City of Atlanta has hosted this E-Waste
Recycling event. In 2005, more than 1,000 items, including computers, cell
phones, stereos, televisions and other electronic items were recycled.



E-Waste Recycling Day is sponsored by District 1 Atlanta City Councilmember
*Carla Smith*, The City of Atlanta *Department of Public Works*, * Advanced
Disposal*, *Dream Sanitation*, *Atlanta** Recycling Solutions, LLC* ., *Keep
Atlanta Beautiful*, *Turner Field*, and *Best Buy*.



*The City will recycle anything and everything that plugs in* *with a couple
of exceptions* * in an effort to encourage proper disposal of electronic
waste ? whether the electronic device works of not!

The goal of this initiative is to promote the recovery, reuse and recycling
of obsolete electronic equipment, and to encourage the design, manufacture
and purchase of environmentally responsible electronic equipment.

The electronics industry is one of the fastest growing and most innovative
industries in the world. Every year newer and better products are being sold
consumers.  It is estimated that in 2005 alone, nearly 300 million
computers, 250 million cell phones, and countless millions of other
electronics discarded.

Electronics account for up to 5% of landfill volume, but contributes up to
70% of the toxins found in landfills.
