Reducing eWaste and Preserving the Environment
Today more and more electronics are discarded in landfills, leading to dangerous health and environmental risks. Each year 128 million cell phones are retired from use. Many of these phones are still usable, and if unable to function, we can always help reuse the resources and metals put into the devices. Not only can we find valuable raw materials in any electronic device, reusing these gadgets benefit schools, low income families, and many other individuals. Keeping these electronics out of landfills also lowers the chance of causing damage to residents. Most electronics contain hazardous or toxic materials which can cause an environmental problem if discarded in the trash. Safely recycling and reusing electronics helps keep substances like lead and mercury from harming residents and other people.
