Are your kids making you the king and queen of the dump?
The next time your kids are playing for hours or seemingly non-stop on their devices, think about the following statistics from Food Truck Empire in terms of handling electronics (33 Disruptive Junk Removal Industry Statistics and Market Predictions (foodtruckempire.com)):
- 70% of toxic waste in America is a result of electronic waste and that is just 2% of the total waste in America.
- Only less than 13% of electronic waste is recycled. Popular gadgets such as mobile phones, computers, and TVs compose around 10 million metric tons of e-waste.
What are some options for handling electronics?
· If you want to self-recycle through a ‘fill-a-box’ program, such as: Electronics & E-Waste Recycling | Republic Services
- You can call a local junk removal or dumpster rental company, such as Dumpster In The Rough (DITR): www.dumpsterintherough.com
- Responsible recycling programs (for recycling devices), such as: About Us – GlobalTech Environmental
- Helpful Websites (for handling electronics), such as: Electronics Donation and Recycling | Reduce, Reuse, Recycle | US EPA
