POLICY: <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> Policy Regarding Electronic Device Recycling/Reuse at <br /> Solid Waste Convenience Centers <br /> For purposes of this policy, electronic devices will include computers and <br /> computer accessories, printers, televisions, computer monitors, cell phones, <br /> audio/video devices, fax machines, etc. An electronic device does not include <br /> household appliances. <br /> Electronic Devices that are delivered to a Convenience Center shall be handled <br /> in one of the following manners: <br /> Salvace Shed <br /> Citizens will be allowed to place electronic devices into a salvage shed for <br /> potential reuse by others. <br /> • Citizens will be able to place intact electronic devices into a salvage shed. <br /> • If a citizen indicates to the convenience center site attendant that their <br /> electronic device (not limited only to computers) is operable, the attendant will <br /> recommend placement of the device in the salvage shed. <br /> • Devices will remain in salvage sheds a minimum of 3 days or until the salvage <br /> shed becomes full, at which time the attendant will relocate them to the <br /> recycling trailer. <br /> • The existing 15-minute twice-dally limit for depositing or removing materials <br /> from the salvage shed will also apply to electronic devices. <br /> • Each citizen that delivers a computer(CPU) for salvage will be responsible for <br /> any personal information remaining on the unit - site attendants have no <br /> responsibility to caution or otherwise inform citizens of their potential data <br /> security risk. <br /> Recyclina Trailer <br /> • Citizens are to place all electronic devices delivered for discard (as opposed <br /> to reuse) into the recycling trailer. <br /> • Once devices are placed into the trailer for recycling, they may not be <br /> removed or disassembled for parts. <br /> No electronic device delivered to a convenience center will be landfilled. The site <br /> attendant/recycling staff will make final decisions regarding what is considered <br /> acceptable for placement into the electronics-recycling receptacle or salvage <br /> shed. <br />
