Recycle Electronics

Content: Fabricating and shipping electronics use water and energy, and often create industrial waste. The disposal of electronics results in a massive amount of waste going into landfills. Toxins, commonly found in electronics, can leak into the soil or release into the air through burning. To prevent toxic leakage from electronics, look for e-waste recycling programs in your community. Specialized centers can safely dispose of these products and may be able to recycle some of the material. Many manufacturers will also take old products to recycle their parts. Only through management over the entire life cycle of electronics can we mitigate the negative effects on our soil, water, air, and health. Check for special programs in your area to recycle: Batteries. Old laptops or phones.
