HOW MUCH? How many computers and monitors and TV's and electronics..... are discarded, thrown away, hidden away in closets, garages, basements....etc.
U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) - Reports that 3 Million pounds PER DAY of electronics and computer equipment is taken out-of-service.
The U.S. EPA has added a "REuse calculator" to thier website to show how much in earth-resources are SAVED every time we REUSE a computer system. Resources include WATER, ENERGY, and everything else going into the products that make up the computer system. SAVE $ 670.00 in earth natural resources REusing a computer system instead of end-of-life recycling. Keep the earth GREEN, reduce greenhouse gasses/emissions, keep water CLEAN and protect our planet from trash and polution. Find out more at http://www.federalelectronicschallenge.net/resources/bencalc.htm
TV's - SVTC Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition reports that Consumers Union estimates 80,000,000 (eighty-million) analog TV's will be recycled starting in February 2009 when all TV programing goes digital. One out of every 8 people in the United States live in California (population 38 million), equaling approximatly 10 million OLD TV's!
California SB20/50, the California "2003 Electronics Recycling Act" adds a fee when purchasing a 'covered electronic waste' (CEW) item, currently a TV, computer Monitor, or DVD player with a screen larger than 7" diagonally measured. Computer Recycling Center is registered with the DTSC California Dept. of Toxic Substances and the CIWMB California Integrated Waste Management Board and collects SB20/50 items.
Used computers/electronics still have value to people that can't afford new
We don't throw people away when a job is done. Put your used electronics to work as a valuable resource in the community! If you don't want it anymore and it works, someone else may want it. Check your state website for REuse programs.
"There is no eWaste; only eResources" says Steven Wyatt at Computer Recycling Center. Thanks for doing your part to REuse FIRST, and then recycle!
