There are a lot of people around the world who participate in the recycling of materials like plastics, paper, glass and aluminum.

Electronics recycling is just as important, (if not more) for our environment and our health as the recycling of other materials.

Recycling in general benefits our environment, and recycling electronics is starting to become a much bigger global issue.

Electronics recycling (also referred to as “e-cycling”) is one of the best ways for us to tackle the growing problem of e-waste accumulation.

Throwing E-Waste in Landfills Can Negatively Impact the Environment
Electronic items contain materials and toxins that can be potentially hazardous when they begin to leach into the nearby water supply as well as the soil, causing both to become contaminated.

Throwing E-Waste in Landfills Can Negatively Impact the Environment
We can achieve this by responsibly recycling our old, outdated and/or broken electronics.

The areas surrounding these locations have higher levels of air pollution and the soil as well as the water supply in these areas has higher contamination levels.

Whenever we recycle our electronics with a U.S. company that exports its e-waste to one or more of these developing countries, we are actually contributing to the global e-waste problem instead of improving it.

Responsible E-Cycling Benefits Everyone Everywhere
When we recycle our electronics responsibly, we are not only benefiting our local environment, we are actually making a positive impact on the entire world.
