Kids and
Computing Recycling electronic equipment is
urgent for our health
and our children
We must recycle computer equipment.
And electronic devices.
All of
it.
This page covers
why and what to do.
Why:
Electronic waste is incredibly poisonous. It exceeds the level for
hazardous waste by 30 to 100 times!.
The
poisons that occur in ewaste are linked to birth
defects, damage to brain tissue, learning disabilities, and more.
What to do:
Recycling removes the poisons, which are then reused.
To manage such a critical and poisonous material, we currently do very little to protect our selves, our water, and our planet.
What can you do? Recycle everything connected to electronics. See the list of electronics and computer parts needing recycling.
Where to recycle electronic equipment and computers?
It can be tough just to find a place in rural areas. A few towns and counties are begining to accept them for free. If not, you may need to pay a fee for a recycler to accept your items.
Homes:
No US government law requires residenses to recycle e-waste. Some localities now provide for it, sometimes at a cost to you, sometimes just a drop off location.
Businesses:
Some districts offer different recycling programs for businesses. You will need to check with you local board that is responsible for recycling. Usually this is at the county level
