Every year, the average household in the U.S. creates over 20 pounds of electronic waste. Unfortunately, less than 20% of it is properly recycled.
That means millions of devices — from laptops to smartphones — end up in landfills, where they leak hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium into the environment.
What’s Actually Inside Your Old Electronics?
It’s not just plastic and wires. Your electronics contain:
- Precious metals like gold, silver, and copper
- Toxic chemicals that can pollute air and water
- Reusable materials like glass and plastic
Proper recycling not only protects the planet — it also helps us recover and reuse valuable resources.
