Electronic Waste Collection at Lafayette County
The first electronic waste (e-waste) collection in West Central Missouri Solid Waste District Region F was held by 
Lafayette County April 1 in conjunction with the Lafayette County Household Hazardous Waste and Waste Tire Collection for 2006.
All the collections were very well-attended this year, but the first e-waste was considered exceptionally successful.
Items accepted for recycling had to be small enough to be lifted by one person and included computer monitors, CPU’S & accessories; printers; mice, key boards & speakers; software floppy disks & CD’s; electronic games and accessories; televisions VCR’s and CD players; fax & copy machines; adding machines, calculators; and, cordless & cell phones.
The twelve county road district buildings served as collection points for 460 monitors, 160 television sets, 45 microwaves, nearly 700 units in addition to numerous other computer and electronic waste items.
A grant from the West Central Missouri Solid Waste District Region F provided the funds for the Lafayette County e-waste collection as well as the county’s yearly HHW and tire collection.
