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 need to throw stuff away just cause we don't want it or don't use it. 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. If it doesn't work, someone may be willing to fix it and use it! Check your STATE website for REuse programs.
"It's not all eWaste; MORE than 62% of all the computers laptops monitors and flat panels we REuse with some repair and refurbishment! Thats a lot of electronics that ARE NOT disposed of", says Steven Wyatt at Computer Recycling Center. Thanks for doing your part to REuse FIRST, and then recycle!
