Why Recycle?

Recycling is a great way to protect our environment and stimulate our economy. Recycling saves resources, prevents pollution, supports public health, and creates jobs. It saves money, avoids landfills, and best of all, it’s easy! Recycling creates a closed-loop system where unwanted products are returned back to manufacturers for use in new products. This prevents the pollution and destruction that occurs when virgin materials –like trees and precious metals– are extracted from the earth.

Some recycling facts…

What is E-waste?
Electronic waste or e-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their “useful life.” Computers, televisions, Cell phones, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled.
Recycling Makes Sense
Unlike landfills, which simply stockpile trash, recycling removes waste completely, then turns it back to useful products. Recycling saves money, and in turn reduces the amount of trash going to the landfills.
