Electronic hoarding of used electronics and old electronics can be a major issue and can not only clutter up your household but also harm the environment.
Then, there are far too many people tossing their e-waste out with their regular trash, sending it to landfills where it doesn’t belong, rather than having it recycled or disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
The best solution is to recycle e-waste, so the parts within them that still have value can be removed and used to make new products; and to keep the toxic chemicals inside them, like mercury and lead, from leaching into the soil and water if they get dumped into landfills.
Our Club carried out the first of a series of e-waste collection drives and a total of just about 55 kgs of waste was collected at the drive.
