Why You Need to Recycle E-Waste

Sending electronic waste to landfill may not seem like a big deal but many electronic products are extremely harmful to the environment as they contain toxic and hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium and brominated fire retardants. The longer these harmful chemicals are left to sit in landfill the more they leach into the soil and can get into waterways and bushland.

Fortunately, electronics are full of recyclable parts that can be recovered to reuse in other products, while hazardous material and be dealt with appropriately. Next time you’re thinking of throwing out your old computer, TV, or printer consider where it will end up.
