Why Recycle

Rapid advances in technologies mean your electronics become obsolete faster than ever before. Consumers replace their computers about every three to five years and their cell phones after only eighteen months. Approximately 400 million units of obsolete electronics are scrapped each year.

Do you have unwanted computer equipment and cell phones lying around in your home or business collecting dust and taking up valuable space? Recycle these items responsibly and you will realize benefits such as:

• Freeing up valuable space – Get rid of the clutter. Maximize your storage space and put it to good use.
• Diverting materials from disposal – Keep unwanted electronics out of landfills and reduce the rapidly growing ewaste stream.
• Saving energy, conserving valuable resources, & reducing pollution - Electronic products are made from valuable resources such as precious and other metals, engineered plastics, and glass which require energy to source and manufacture. Many electronics contain parts that can be refurbished and reused. When these items are thrown away, we are also throwing away these resources and adding to pollution by creating the need to access virgin materials and manufacture new products.
• Reducing environmental risks - Some electronics contain hazardous or toxic materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and some type of flame retardants which could pose environmental risks.
