WAYS TO DISPOSE YOUR OLD TECHNOLOGY
We all own electronics, and most of us can’t wait to get rid of our old technology to make room for the newest upgraded version. A pressing question in today’s society is, do you recycle your old equipment or just throw it in the garbage? The EPA reported that only 15% of e-waste is recycled in the US each year. Which means the other 85% is filling up our landfills with toxic materials and carcinogens. This Earth Day, Home Warranty of America urges you to review the below information as a guide to securely, responsibly and economically disposing obsolete technology.
E-WASTE
Cell Phones,Computer Monitors,Keyboards, Batteries,Mouses,Video Camera, MP3 Player,
Video Game Consoles,Scanners, Webcams,Laptops.
