Why Recycle?

Saves valuable natural resources

By discarding electronics, you are wasting valuable resources. Electronic products are made up of valuable resources, including precious and other metals, engineered plastics, glass, and other materials, all of which require energy to source and manufacture. Many electronic products also contain parts that could be profitably refurbished and reused with little effort. When we throw away old electronic equipment, we're throwing away these resources and generating additional pollution associated with the need to access virgin materials and manufacture new products.

Discarded electronics may contain hazardous or toxic substances. Some electronic products such as CRT monitors, and circuit boards contain hazardous or toxic materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and some types of flame retardants. CRTs in computer monitors and televisions can contain as much as 9 pounds of lead. Electronic products represent the largest remaining contributor of heavy metals to the solid waste stream. There is concern, particularly at the state and local levels, that products containing these types of materials might pose some environmental risks if they are not properly managed at end-of-life.
