    Nowadays, EE-waste represents a big problem, but also a danger for the environment and the population.Many households use various EE-devices that end up as EE-waste after their expiration date. The objectives of the research within this work for thecities of Bihać and Ključ were to determine: the total amount tf EE-devices; percentage representation of the three most represented/leastrepresented devices; total weight of EE-devices as a potentialwaste; the total amount of EE-waste per household and estimete the annual amount of EE-waste per inhabitant. To realize the goals, survey and comparison method were used. The results of the research showed that in the area of cities of Bihać and Ključ the quantitative representation (about 1775 pieces); the percentage representation (mobile phones and TV) and the average age (about 5 years) of EE-devices were approximately the same. The differences were in the total weight of EE-devices as potentialwaste (38 853–39 316.4kg); the total amount of EE-waste (5 942.9–6 971.7kg) and the annual amount ofpotential EE-wastefor Bihać which varied 0.12–0.13kg/inhabitantand for Ključ 1.09–1.21kg/inhabitant(Ključmunicipality from 0.35 to 0.39 kg/inhabitant).
