Take Advantage of Chula Vista eWaste Drop-Off Events
Recycling your electronic waste, or eWaste, is incredibly important, but often overlooked by even the most zealous of recyclers. That’s because we tend to think that the materials in our electronics are not recyclable in the same way paper, cardboard, glass, and plastic is. The fact is, there are many components in your eWaste that are incredibly recyclable, and repurposing or recycling them saves energy and other resources that we could be using on other things.
Define eWaste?
Electronic waste can be a number of common household items. Anything from old computer monitors and television sets to your cell phone, laser printer, and more can be considered eWaste. It is important to recycle these items not just because recycling in general is a good idea, but because electronics often contain harmful substances and heavy metals that can be dangerous when they seep into the ground and water supply. The State of California actually forbids you from throwing your eWaste into the landfill.
Recycle San Diego Can Help
There are a number of recycling programs in San Diego and the surrounding area you can turn to, but did you know that Recycle San Diego provides free drop-off programs for eWaste? Not only that, but they’ll provide you with a certificate of recycling, guaranteeing that your waste has been properly recycled and is not in a landfill. While Recycle San Diego is only directly involved in sorting and reselling materials which can be repurposed, we issue these certificates because we are that confident in the standards which our downstream processors comply with.
In Your Neighborhood
