It is important to consider what hazardous materials surround you and to dispose of them safely. Proper disposal keeps your family, neighbors, and the environment from soil and water contamination that may occur from dumping in landfills. Please see USDA-ARS-Northern Plains Agricultural Research Lab page on "E-rase Your E-waste" for more of what you can do to help!
