Why it matters
Electronics contain toxic materials that pollute our soil and water when thrown in regular trash. This program teaches families how to safely dispose of phones, tablets, and batteries to protect our neighborhoods from harmful chemicals.
If this passes
Families get fun recycling education at zoos. More people learn how to safely dispose of electronics and batteries. Communities stay protected from toxic materials in landfills.
If this does not pass
Less education about safe electronics disposal. More toxic waste could end up in landfills near neighborhoods. Fewer resources to help families recycle properly.
