WHAT KIND OF ELECTRONICS SHOULD YOU RECYCLE
2- 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?
3The 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.
4Some 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.
5Types of Electronic Waste That Cannot Be Recycled
Via E-Waste Recycling Programs
6You 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
7What 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.
8- 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.
