Why Recycling Electronics Matters

Electronic waste, or e-waste, is one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide. Phones, tablets, and batteries contain hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium. When thrown away with regular trash, these toxins can leak into the environment, harming wildlife and human health.

Recycling electronics helps:

• Reduce pollution by keeping harmful chemicals out of landfills

• Conserve natural resources by recovering valuable metals like gold, silver, and copper

• Save energy since recycling uses less energy than mining new materials

• Lower greenhouse gas emissions linked to manufacturing new devices

  
  

By recycling your old phones and batteries, you contribute to a cleaner, safer environment.
