E-WASTE RECYCLING

It’s an electronic world and that means more electronic gadgets are being thrown into the landfills. Computers, televisions, laptops, printers, cell phones, DVD players, Video players, monitors and other electronic waste is often tossed into the waste bin waiting for the garbage collector. Once crushed those electronics will release toxins that are harmful to everyone on the planet, including Mother Nature.

• According to Modern Waste Solutions in California, responsible businesses and organizations will think before tossing out E-Waste. Improperly handling electronics is dangerous. Discarded electronics such as mercury, cadmium, and lead seep into the soil invading the groundwater before contaminating the air.
• E-Waste isn’t just a problem in the United States. E-Waste is epidemic all over the world. Back in 2012, 1.6 billion cell phones were manufactured. Those phones are loaded with toxic chemicals containing lead, arsenic, and flame-retardants.
• Landfills are loaded with E-Waste. In fact, most E-Waste will end up in a landfill both in the US and in developing countries. The entire planet is overloaded with E-Waste leaching dangerous toxins into the ground and the atmosphere. Had those toxic materials been recycled sixty percent of that electronic waste wouldn’t have ended up at the dump.
• Even when electronics are recycled, thirty percent of the materials can’t be recovered.
• All residential households and commercial employers need to remember how important it is to recycle. Think twice before you toss your smashed I-Phone into the garbage. You would be surprised how many people toss E-Waste, batteries and other dangerous waste into the trash without giving it a second thought.

• Although manufacturers and proponents of the aerosol industry praise the long shelf life an ease of use, the US banned the use of CFC's (Chlorofluorocarbons) back in 1978. Those who oppose the use of aerosol cans have noted the link between the correlation of how hydrocarbon dangers and climate change go hand in hand with one another.
• Insecticides, deodorants, spray paint, and other aerosol cans pose a real threat if thrown into the garbage. Not only will they fill up the landfill, but also the toxins will seep into the ground, causing problems with the soil and nearby water supply.
