E-Waste Recycling Near Me: Why It Matters

Environmental Impact

Electronic waste contains both valuable and hazardous materials:

Toxic Substances in E-Waste:

• Lead (in CRT monitors and solder)
• Mercury (in LCD backlights)
• Cadmium (in batteries and chips)
• Beryllium (in circuit boards)
• Brominated flame retardants (in plastics)

When improperly disposed of in landfills, these materials leach into soil and groundwater, causing long-term environmental damage.

Resources Recovered Through E-Waste Recycling:

• 1 million recycled laptops save energy equal to electricity for 3,657 homes annually
• 1 million recycled cell phones recover 35,000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold
• Recycling 1 million computers prevents 500,000 pounds of lead from entering landfills

Legal Requirements

Many states prohibit electronic waste in landfills:

• California: Covered Electronic Waste (CEW) ban on landfill disposal
• New York: Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act
• Illinois: Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act
• Washington: E-Cycle Washington program
• Connecticut: Ban on disposal of electronic devices

Searching for "electronic disposal near me" isn't just environmentally responsible – it's often legally required.
