Electronic waste stream is undeniably amongst the most rapidly increasing waste streams. This is because the world is continually being modernized and all manner of electronics are being invented to accommodate the growing need for modernization. Electronic waste including electronic appliances like microwaves, blow dry machines, TV, computers and even batteries make up a huge chunk of waste in landfills today. Unless other means of managing this waste is adopted, we may be unable to reverse the damages we incur on earth by careless dumping electronic waste.
An attractive way of managing electronic waste is through electronic recycle. 90% of computer and TV components are for instance said to be recyclable. There are also lots of house hold electronic appliances that can also be recycled including laundry machines, stereos, toasters, mobile phones and hair dries. These contain material that can be put into newer gadgets such as nickel, glass, aluminum, zinc and plastic.
It’s obvious that old gadgets become redundant or simply get destroyed in a way that can’t be fixed after a period of use. There are also tech junkies who just want the latest gadgets in the market and will therefore throw their current ones due to that. Using electronic recycle pick up service is a better option for disposing off your electronic equipment or gadget. Not only is it good for our planet, it’s also beneficial for other consumers who are unable to afford new gadgets. Here are other reasons that will make you join the statistic of cool people by recycling your electronic waste.
1. You will be a blessing to someone else – by recycling you will be able to also contribute to the happiness of others. Instead of throwing your used desktop or laptop for instance you can donate it to needy college students who are unable to afford the latest models. This will give you a good feeling of contributing to the growth of your community.
2. Make use of re-usable material – most of the electronics normally discarded have material that can be re-used either in constructing a new material or in repairing other old electronics. Making use of these materials ensures that the production cost for the new materials or the cost of repair is reduced.
3. A safe way of ensuring that dangerous material don’t find their way to free exposure on earth- electronic gadgets like batteries, cellphones, TVs and computers contain toxic substances including lead, mercury and cadmium which are dangerous for our planet. Improper disposal of these electronic wastes can therefore contribute to hazardous substances leaking into our soil and water and contaminating them. Eventually these substances find their way back into our health causing disease like cancer. It also interferes with the planets health and contributes to global warming.
Ensure that you use computer recycle pick up services to be sure that you hand over your electronic gadgets to professionals who ensure security and safety of your data and information.
