According to the EPA, 250 million computers will become obsolete in the next five years due to the speed of technological advances, and electronic waste is the fastest growing municipal waste stream in the US.
In addition to keeping harmful materials like lead, mercury, cadmium, phosphors, and flame-retardants out of the environment, electronics recycling greatly decreases energy and water use.
We have long been concerned about our footprint on the Earth. We started recycling electronics on a small scale many years ago, but ewaste (electronic waste) has grown to be a major problem on a global scale.
Can’t make it? We also recycle your ewaste for free at each of our retail stores throughout the year. Bring it on by!
