Only 1 in 5 Recycle e-Waste Properly
December 28, 2007
The Daily Green is reporting that a scant 1 in 5 of us recycle old electronics.
Disappointing.
With many consumers upgrading to newer versions of their gear this holiday season, replacing existing gadgets such as TVs, monitors, cell phones, video game consoles, etc… it’s troubling to think that only 21% of that e-waste is destined for proper disposal.
The article directs consumers to a variety of sources to help with recycling their used electronics, notably E-cycling Central, a national database maintained by industry of local recycling opportunities, and eRecycle.org, which lists additional options.
