Why recycle e-waste?
Protect the environment
Electronic waste, or e-waste, is the fastest growing waste stream in the country.
E-waste is consuming too much landfill space.
Electronics should be properly recycled.
Untreated e-waste may contain hazardous materials, which can adversely affect the environment.
Conserve natural resources
Consumer electronics contain materials that require the mining of raw materials. They are highly recyclable.
Electronics recycling technology separates commodity streams of metals, plastics and glass, and processes these materials for reuse in new products.
Recycling responsibly is the right thing to do
These free events can help educate and raise awareness.
All equipment collected at will be destroyed and recycled in the U.S. in accordance with all local, state and federal guidelines, regulations and laws pertaining to the collection, transportation and recycling of electronics equipment.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that as much as 80% of discarded consumer electronics in the U.S. ends up in developing countries where environmental and workers' health and safety laws are non-existent. This practice also fuels a multibillion-dollar industry of identity theft in these countries.
