Why Recycle?
Electronic waste is a growing problem in Montana and around the United States. With technology growing so quickly, electronics become obsolete faster and faster. There are many hazardous materials in electronics such as: lead, mercury, cadmium, and flame retardants. These items should not be thrown away! Electronics can present environmental hazards if not managed correctly. Many components of electronic equipment--including metals, plastic, and glass--can be recycled and made into new things!
