E-waste is one of the fastest-growing sources of solid waste worldwide. Improperly discarded electronic devices often contain harmful toxins and materials that don’t easily break down, posing risks to people, wildlife, and ecosystems. Durham County encourages residents to dispose of e-waste safely and responsibly to help protect our community. For more options on how to recycle e-waste, read here.
