Electronics Recycling
Faster, more advanced computers, cell phones and electronics offer endless possibilities for enrichment, learning and entertainment. But as consumers and businesses keep pace with the introduction of exciting new products, we are faced with a mounting challenge: what to do with the products we’re upgrading from.
It’s no small issue. Hundreds of millions of retired computers, cell phones and electronics sit idle or are discarded by consumers and businesses every year. We need to make smart choices about what we do with these products to help ensure a clean environment for future generations.
Why should your organization recycle?
- To keep the following hazardous material out of our landfills
- Each monitor contains 2-4 pounds of lead
- Every computer has Chromium, Beryllium, Mercury, Cadmium, Nickel, Zinc, and Lead
- These are all very dangerous to our health and environment, if they are not disposed of safely
- Recycling creates jobs
- Recycling can help put computers into the schools and homes of people who cannot afford new
