Declutter for the Holidays: A Guide to E-Waste Recycling
Clear Out Your Old Electronics and Make Space for Holiday Cheer
It’s that time of year again - the bells are jingling and the holiday decorations are making their way into stores. You may have your eye on the latest electronics this holiday season - like a new phone, computer, or gaming console. This makes it the perfect time to declutter your home and make space by getting rid of outdated electronics that are piling up dust.
Your Holiday Gift To The Planet
But don’t just throw your old devices away! E-waste is one of the world’s fastest-growing waste streams. In 2022, 48 million metric tons of e-waste was disposed of in landfills. The improper disposal of these items can lead to soil and groundwater contamination in your community, posing long-term health risks. Furthermore, simply performing a factory reset on phones or computers doesn't truly remove your data, leaving your personal information vulnerable to hackers.
The only way to ensure your private data is destroyed and you’re protecting the environment is by recycling your old electronics with a certified e-waste recycler.
