How do you prepare an electronic for recycling?
Electronic waste – or e-waste – consists of any obsolete or broken electric items that you wish to dispose of. This can include everything from computer towers to typewriters from the ‘70s. Unfortunately, it is not environmentally friendly (nor technically allowed) to simply throw these items into the dumpster as many of these unwanted devices can contain toxic materials – and your personal data. If you plan on getting rid of old electronics make through it is through a reputable source, such as a city-wide recycling day or a private processor, make sure what you’re handing over is prepared to be destroyed safely and sustainably.
