Since August 2009 The City of Montclair has enlisted the services of TRI
Products, Inc. to collect and recycle Electronic Waste from the businesses
and residents of Montclair.

The service is rendered free of charge, and actually returns to the city a
small donation for every pound of waste recycled.

Christopher Wheeler a Senior Account Executive with TRI Products, Inc. the state
licensed E-Waste Recycler selected by the city, met with Richard Beltran the
Assistant Finance Director for The City of Montclair. 

The waste collected was all properly recycled under State of
California's own guidelines. It represents almost four tons of Electronic
Waste which if not properly recycled could have ended up almost anywhere.

According to the EPA report, there is Electronic Waste being disposed of
illegally every day. Some in landfills, much of just dumped by the side of
a road or out in an uninhabited area. This is a danger to our air and water,
because there is up to eight pounds of hazardous waste in every P.C.!

The response from the residents and businesses in Montclair has steadily
grown, and the program even at this early stage has been labeled as a
success, by the participants. Future generations won't have to worry about
that four tons of material that could be found in their water supply
someday.
