One of the fastest-growing trash types, used electrical equipment poses a serious risk to both the environment and public health. Recycling used devices helps the environment and your wallet by reinvesting valuable resources into the economy.
Recycling discarded electronics allows valuable materials like gold, silver, and copper to find new uses as jewellery, high-end equipment, and other things. If we recycled all of the little, unused electrical items we had instead of throwing them away or keeping them, we could save an astounding 2.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. That equates to removing over a million vehicles from the road.
