| Why
should I recycle my electronics? The rapid growth in
popularity of electronics, computers and technologies has produced
many fantastic benefits for our society, however because
of constant evolution in the industry and high usage,
they will eventually become obsolete
or defective, may no longer be useful and end up as
electronic waste or "e-waste". Electronics recycling or e-cycling of this
e-waste can help us to demonstrate that we care about
the world we live in and our environment by preventing
unnecessary waste and pollution while conserving and
preserving some of our valuable natural resources
for the future! |

| E-waste
is a term given to electronic, computer and technology
products nearing the end of their product life cycle or
"useful life" that have become worn, broken or
defective. Electronic, computer and technology products,
components, devices and gadgets like, computers,
servers, monitors, printers, copiers, fax machines, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, radios and cell phones are
among some of the most commonly discarded electronics. Many of
these products can be Recycled, Remarketed, or Reduced.

nation's vast waste stream. |
