Why Recycle Electronics?

Electronics are one of the fastest growing portions of America’s waste stream. In some areas E-waste is growing three times faster than any other type of municipal waste. By recycling we can reduce waste and be kind to our environment by keeping toxic materials from contaminating the soil and leaking into our ground water.

Electronics are made with many reusable materials. In 1998, over 112 million pounds of materials were recovered from recycled electronics including lead, steel, glass, and plastic.

Some obsolete electronics can create environmental hazards and legal liabilities if they are disposed of improperly. With more than four pounds of lead in many TV picture tubes and computer monitors, along with other potentially hazardous materials such as mercury, chromium, and cadmium, electronics call for special handling at the end of their lives.

Did you know according to the EPA...

More than 3.2 million tons of electronic waste is laid to rest in landfills each year.
Nearly 250 million computers will become obsolete in the next 5 years.
Many people discard computers every 3 to 5 years.
In 2001, only 11 percent of personal computers retired in the US were recycled.
Mobile phones will be discarded at a rate of 130 million per year by 2005, resulting in 65,000 tons of waste.
TVs and computers can contain an average of 4 pounds of lead (depending on their size, make, and vintage) as well as other potential toxins like chromium, cadmium, mercury, beryllium, nickel, zinc, and brominated flame retardants. These materials need to be handled carefully.
