Tri-CED: Certified for Safe E-Waste Recovery
Tri-CED is a certified California Covered Electronic Waste (E-Waste) Recovery Collector, committed to protecting the environment through responsible e-waste recycling. Electronic waste—such as computers, VCRs, cell phones, printers, fax machines, and more—is one of the fastest-growing environmental challenges. Many of these devices contain hazardous materials like lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, which can harm our soil and water if sent to landfills. By recycling your old electronics, you’re not only preventing toxic waste but also helping recover valuable materials that can be reused. Don’t throw them away—drop off your e-waste and make a positive impact on the planet.
