The United States produces up to 50 million tons of e-waste each year. Of this, only 20-25% is recycled safely and responsibly. The other 75% ends up in landfills. As a direct consequence, hazardous materials found in this waste routinely contaminate our air and water supplies. By safely and responsibly recycling your e-waste, you can help protect your community and the ecosystem from these dangerous chemicals.

Today, on Earth Day, we highly encourage you to collect all of your old electronic materials and take them to an e-waste recycling facility to make sure they are properly handled.
