Mid-Missouri Solid Waste Management District
The Mid Missouri Solid Waste Management District strongly encourages the reusing, refurbishing and recycling of electronics. Color computer monitors contain lead and should not be landfilled. Toxic materials are found in other electronic waste. MMSWMD held its first electronic waste collection in Jefferson City in May 2007, where 8.14 tons of electronics were collected for recycling and diverted from the landfill.
