State of Electronics in Florida Households: 2003 Residential Household
Electronics Survey

In the summer of 2003 the Florida Department of Environmental =
Protection, in
partnership with Seminole County, proposed a follow-up survey to the =
2000
survey of Florida households to find out whether Florida's residential
population had changed its practices for handling, recycling, and =
disposing
of televisions and computer monitors. In addition, the partners wanted =
to
gauge whether household awareness of the hazardous properties associated =
with
CRTs (cathode ray tubes) in televisions and computer monitors had =
changed.

The scope of electronic products was expanded to collect information =
about
the ownership, handling, recycling, and disposing of computers (desktop =
and
laptop) and about the ownership of other common household electronics
(microwaves, VCRs, DVDs, stereo components, cell phones, printers, video =
game
systems, and flat panel monitors). This report presents the results of =
that
survey and a comparison with the earlier survey conducted in 2000.
