Why Recycle

PCs, monitors, and other electronics contain hazardous wastes such as barium, beryllium, phosphorus, lead and many other hazardous chemicals. It is important to keep these hazardous chemicals out of our landfills where they can leach into the groundwater. When you recycle, these products are reused to the degree possible, and that is good for the environment. Plus, well, it is illegal to put them in the trash or take them to a landfill (computers, monitors, televisions, and cell phones).

Responsible Recycling Costs

In the early days of recycling "Recyclers" would load containers full of electronic waste and ship them to a third world country to be "Recycled".  This practice caused major environmental damage in the countries that received this waste.  To avoid this practice we only use methods of recycling that ensure the electronic waste you recycle doesn't end up in a third world country.
