Electronics Recycling

The Toxic Truth

The toxic materials found in electronics not only pollute soil and landfills, they also affect human health.

The side effects of chronic exposure to common toxic and hazardous materials found in electronics include:

There are currently no federal laws or rules to govern the recycling of electronics, but according to the EPA, there are still a few ways consumers can take action to curb waste.

But DO YOUR PART…

Consider Repair

Think about getting your equipment repaired or refurbished. Even if your electronics are broken, there are usable components that may be repurposed for building or repairing other systems.

E-Cycle

Once the computers, monitors, or televisions are received, e-cycling centers disassemble and process the raw materials for future use.

R3Ewaste is the leading recycler of used electronics in Phoenix & Southwest USA.

Lease and Take-Back Programs

Consumers who constantly upgrade to the latest gadgets and don’t want the responsibility of dealing with the wear and tear should consider leasing instead of purchasing. There are also take-back programs that allow consumers to return their old equipment to the vendor when they purchase new one.

Donate

If your discarded electronic equipment still works, look for charities, nonprofit organizations, or local schools that could find better uses for it.

Think Ahead

Before users even buy their products, there are ways to preventatively make sure their electronic items have facilities that enable better recycling and minimal environmental impact.
