Section 02: Electronics/Appliance Sticker

Section 2 – Electronics / Appliance Sticker

A numbered sticker is required for the disposal of items that require special handling and processing.  Refrigerators, air conditioners and dehumidifiers contain toxins such as chlorinated fluorocarbons (freon) and shall be identified for proper disposal. Computer monitors and televisions require additional processing by an outside agency. This process, called “demanufacturing,” is necessary because of the presence of lead and other metals that would otherwise contaminate landfills. One sticker per item is required.  These stickers will be sold at the Department of Public Works.  The cost is $10.00 per sticker.  The proposed implementation date is January 1, 2003.
