Irregular disposal of electronics: a map of fines and environmental crimes by state
Introduction to the Irregular Disposal of Electronics in Brazil
The improper disposal of electronics constitutes an environmental crime under Brazilian law, impacting the environment and public health. Penalties vary from state to state, reflecting the actions of environmental authorities in monitoring and imposing fines.
Legislation Applicable to the Disposal of Electronic Waste
Decree No. 10.240/2020 regulates the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010), establishing guidelines for the management of electronic waste. According to article 54 of Law No. 9.605/1998, irregular disposal can result in criminal and administrative sanctions, including fines and even imprisonment.
Panorama of Environmental Infractions by State
Official data from National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR) show that states with a higher population concentration, such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, have a high number of infractions related to the improper disposal of electronics. States in the North, on the other hand, have a lower number of infractions, but have structural difficulties when it comes to enforcement.
Fines and Penalties Applied at State Level
According to information from the Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (CETESB), fines can reach hundreds of thousands of reais, depending on the seriousness of the infraction and the amount of waste disposed of irregularly. Other states adopt similar regimes, established by their respective environmental legislation.
Responsible Collection and Proper Disposal
To mitigate environmental impacts and avoid penalties, it is recommended to use services specializing in electronic waste collection, which guarantee correct reverse logistics in accordance with current legislation.
Safety in the Disposal of Storage Devices
In addition to environmentally appropriate disposal, it is essential to ensure the safe destruction of data stored on hard disks and other digital media by accessing safe disposal of electronic media to protect against leaks of sensitive information.
Conclusion
Monitoring and strict enforcement of irregular disposal of electronics is essential for environmental preservation. Understanding the fines and environmental crimes by state reinforces the need for responsible practices, in line with current legislation, aimed at sustainability and compliance with environmental regulations.
Monitoring and rigorous enforcement of irregular disposal of electronics is essential for environmental preservation.

Operational costing of reverse logistics: Door-to-door collection and responsible processing of electronic waste involve relevant logistics, technical and documentary costs. For this reason, Ecobraz structures transparent operational costing models linked to reverse logistics execution, with no promise of financial return, investment or asset appreciation. Governance: Operational execution is guided by compliance, traceability and verifiable documentation criteria. The priority is to strengthen the client’s corporate evidence, reduce documentary gaps and support safer, more responsible and defensible disposal decisions.
