WHY E-WASTE MANAGEMENT?

E-waste contains many valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminum, copper, gold, silver, plastics, and ferrous metals. In order to conserve natural resources and the energy needed to produce new electronic equipment from virgin resources, electronic equipment can be refurbished, reused, and recycled instead of being land filled.

E-waste also contains toxic and hazardous materials including mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium, chromium, and chemical flame retardants, which have the potential to leach into our soil and water. Further:

Protects your surroundings: Safe recycling of outdated electronics promotes sound management of toxic chemicals such as lead and mercury.

Conserves natural resources: Recycling recovers valuable materials from old electronics that can be used to make new products. As a result, we save energy, reduce pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save resources by extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.

Helps others: Donating your used electronics benefits your community by passing on ready-to-use or refurbished equipment to those who need it.

Saves landfill space: E-waste is a growing waste stream. By recycling these items, landfill space is conserved.
