WHAT KIND OF ELECTRONICS SHOULD YOU RECYCLE

Description:

"When you no longer have a use for your working electronic device, you will almost always be able to find someone else out there who will. If you are interested in helping the environment while making a few extra dollars, you could consider listing your electronic item for sale online or in your local newspaper. Sites like Backpage, Craigslist, and even Facebook will let you advertise your items free of charge. This is another way to responsibly recycle your electronics and another way to do your part in reducing the amount of the world’s e-waste.

  • When it comes to recycling, electronic waste is
    actually the most rapidly growing stream of waste
    all over the globe. We know that we should
    recycle our electronics, but exactly what kind of
    electronics should be recycled?

3
The recycling process of mobile phones differs
from the recycling process of printers or
computers.
  • Television sets are some the most expensive
    electronics devices to recycle and they are
    recycled in a different manner than digital
    cameras or MP3 players.
  • CRT TVs are considered to be the most difficult
    and most expensive types of television models to
    recycle.
  • The process of recycling CRT televisions is also
    one of the most time-consuming processes,
    compared to that of other television models and
    electronic devices.

Some Electronics Are Easier To Recycle Than Others
  • Some electronic gadgets are designed in ways that
    make them harder to recycle than others, just as
    some are more expensive to recycle than others.

Cellular phones fall into the category of
containing nearly 100 recyclable materials.

You will most likely need to contact someone in
your municipality to find out what the proper
method is for disposing of these particular
electronic items.
Another option would be contacting the
manufacturer of these electronics and asking what
your options are for recycling them. These items
can include the following
  • Large appliances (such as refrigerators, ranges,
    deep freezers, washers, dryers etc.)
  • Any non-decontaminated medical equipment
  • Units containing sludge or other liquids
  • Vacuum cleaners
  • Microwave ovens
  • Smoke detectors and smoke alarms
  • Fire alarms
  • Air conditioners
  • Thermometers

What If Your Electronics Are Still in Working
Condition?
  • If you happen to own electronic gadgets that are
    still in operable condition, taking these items
    to recycling centers is not your only option.

If your old electronics still work, another way
you can recycle them is to either sell them or
give them away.

  • When you no longer have a use for your working
    electronic device, you will almost always be able
    to find someone else out there who will.
  • You could consider listing your electronic item
    for sale online or in your local newspaper.
  • Sites like Backpage, Craigslist, and even
    Facebook will let you advertise your items free
    of charge. This is another way to responsibly
    recycle your electronics and another way to do
    your part in reducing the amount of the worlds
    e-waste.
