E-CYCLE!
Don’t just recycle, E-CYCLE.
Electronic waste (e-waste) is a growing concern; fortunately most electronics can be recycled.
Electronics contain many heavy metals and other dangerous chemicals but most of these can be recycled.
If e-waste is improperly disposed of, chemicals and heavy metals can leach into surface and ground water.
Fortunately, many stores--Best Buy for instance--can help you dispose of e-waste. They'll take anything from batteries and chargers, to computers and TV's! Stop on your local store for details: http://www.bestbuy.com
Challenge: On June 12th we made the digital transition and no doubt, left some electronics behind. Work with some friends, coworkers, or local teachers to organize an e-waste recycling fundraiser.
