Why donate or recycle tech with us?

Electronic Waste (E-waste) term used to describe all types of old, end-of-life or discarded electrical and electronic equipment. Common examples are cell phones, tablets, computers, chargers, and video game consoles.

Did you know that a study conducted by the U.N. found out that roughly 6.3 MILLION TONS of e-waste was generated annually in USA alone? Americans currently own more than 3 billion electronic products. The average American has 20 known electronic devices per household. As the use of these electronic products has grown, the average lifespan of these products becomes shorter. According to the Global E-Waste Monitor (2017) this has become an emerging problem worldwide, with an estimated 40 million tons of e-waste being generated every year globally, with less than 30 percent being recycled. The remaining e-waste materials are discarded in landfills or incinerated. Don't just take our word for it, check out more real world facts below.

Here are main benefits of donating

1) Reduces Landfill Sites

Recycling electronic waste will save space in our landfills. Reduced landfill sites will lead to better usage of land towards more housing and agriculture development.

2) Preserves Natural Resources

Studies found that 98% of components in an electronic device are recyclable. By extracting and reusing parts from old electronic gadgets, will mitigate the need of manufacturing and mining raw materials.

3) Reduces Pollution

Electronic components consist of countless toxic chemical substances which pose health and environmental risks. These chemicals buried into our landfills can release poisonous toxins in our soil, ecosystem, agriculture, livestock, and sea life. Eventually, ending up in our food and causing long-term harm to our health and the environment.

4) Increases Affordability

Recycled electronics will increase the opportunity for people who do not have the funds to afford costly devices and utilize refurbished or used devices themselves. It is a win-win situation for all! As technology continues to advance, electronic devices have become an integral part of our daily lives. However, as these devices become obsolete or reach the end of their useful life, disposing of them properly is crucial to prevent environmental harm. Recycling electronics is a responsible and sustainable way to manage e-waste. We work with schools and explore the importance of recycling electronics, the benefits it offers, and how to find reliable disposal methods. Let's delve into the world of e-waste recycling and discover how we can make a positive impact on our environment and our communities!
