Try to imagine a herd of 600,000 elephants. It’s pretty hard to do.  Yet according to the Environmental Protection Agency, the amount of old computers, electronics and other e-waste Americans generated every single year weighs about as much as all those elephants: around 3.2 million tons!  We have special bins to collect paper and plastics for recycling, but what about all this e-waste? Now more than ever, it’s important to recycle our unwanted office equipment, old cellphones, “smart” appliances and other items we normally don’t think of as “recyclable.” Many people don’t even consider using a New York computer recycling service.

For one thing, New York computer recycling keeps them out of landfills. This keeps the limited landfill space available for items that actually belong there. Computers and other electronics also have toxic components that can leech metals and minerals into the ground and water supply, which in turn contaminates our soil and food.  Furthermore, recycling allows us to scavenge these valuable metals – such as gold, silver and copper – out of computers, cellphones and peripherals. By doing this, we help reduce the need to mine for more of these metals and further damage the natural environment.

If an old computer is still operable, it makes a much-needed donation to a charity or non-profit group. In a world where computer literacy is of the utmost importance, these donations give people in need the chance to learn new skills and information in a way they couldn’t otherwise afford.  Recycling e-waste is important, but many people believe it is just too much trouble. That’s where Recycling New York, Inc. comes in.
