Electronic Waste Recycling

Why Recycle Electronics

It’s no secret that many electronic devices contain dangerous substances like mercury, cadmium, and lead which can easily damage local ecosystems when they end up in landfills. According to the National Safety Council, only 11% of computers are properly recycled each year — resulting in new legislation that puts pressure on businesses to comply with strict recycling regulations.

Having a compliant e-waste recycling program in place isn’t just a good idea — it’s essential for your business.
