E-waste Recycling
Come do your part for the environment by bringing your unwanted electrical or electronic devices to ECHO Friday E-waste Recycling.
What is e-waste?
E-waste is electrical and electronic equipment of any kind that has been discarded. It includes practically anything powered by an electrical source. Some typical e-waste includes: computers, mobile phones, printers, tablets, TVs, refrigerators, toasters, electronic toys, batteries, etc.
Why recycle e-waste?
Electrical/electronic devices contain toxic/carcinogenic substances that include lead, mercury, cadmium, beryllium, polyvinyl chloride, and chromium. When e-waste is tossed into landfills, these chemicals leach into the soil, polluting the ground water as well as the air. By recycling e-waste, we:
• Protect human and environmental health
• Help to conserve our earth’s precious natural resources
