- Refrigerators, washing machines, and microwaves (electronics inside them count as e-waste)
- Air conditioners, especially those with circuit boards
- Batteries & Power Units
- Rechargeable lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium batteries

What Is Not Typically E-Waste
- Furniture, wood, or plastics without electronics

Why Proper E-Waste Disposal Matters
- ⚠️ Hazardous Materials — Many electronics contain lead, mercury, cadmium, or flame retardants.
