----------------------------------------------------------------- While electronic devices are safe to use in the home or office, they do pose an environmental risk when improperly discarded. Computers, monitors, and printers have cathode ray tubes, circuit boards, and other electronic components that contain toxic pollutants such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. These electronic items are the fastest growing portion of our waste stream. Although e-waste currently makes up a small percentage of our household garbage, it accounts for about 40% of the toxins in that waste. Recycling helps keep it out of landfills, incinerators and the environment. All collected computers and electronics will go to an EPA-licensed recycler. For more information please contact: Upper West Side Recycling; jtwine@synerjy.org
THIS IS A WIN - WIN: RID YOUR HOME AND/OR OFFICE OF ALL THOSE BULKY OLD COMPUTERS THAT ARE COLLECTING DUST AND TAKING UP SPACE (both mental and physical!!!).....and at the same gain peace of mind in knowing that you've disposed of them responsibly!
