There are more electronic devices than people in this country. In fact, there are more cell phones than people in the world. Cell phones, laptops, tablets, computers, televisions, and other devices create a lot of waste that can easily be prevented. Electronic recycling in Atlanta is a great way to conserve resources and natural materials. It is also a quick way to make some extra cash. In this article, we will go over the benefits of electronic recycling and review some ways that you can recycle your electronics in Atlanta. Feel free to call RCM Recycling if you have any specific questions or concerns, or if you would like to get started on electronic recycling today.
Why Recycle Electronics?
As we mentioned earlier, there are billions upon billions of electronic devices worldwide. With the average lifespan of these devices shrinking, electronic waste is building up. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that only about a fifth of e-waste is recycled. What happens to the rest of it? The remaining 80 percent go directly to landfills, incinerators, and are illegally exported to developing countries (often to their landfills).
E-waste is harmful because most electronic devices contain toxic elements such as lead, beryllium, polyvinyl, chloride, and mercury. These materials are not just toxic to humans; they are devastating for the environment as well.
Recycling also makes good economic sense. Recycling one million laptops, for example, saves the energy equivalent to the electricity used by more than 3,500 U.S. homes in a year. Further, every million cell phones we recycle recovers roughly 35 thousand pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold, and 33 pounds of palladium. Recycling, and especially reusing, electronic devices is great for the environment, economy, and your pockets. While you will be making some quick cash, you will also be participating in a greater good. By recycling your electronics, you will be saving landfills from the toxic elements in the devices. You will also be supplying the economy with raw materials that are used to make new products.
