Did you know?

A large number of items, labeled "e-waste" are reusable, and actually, not a waste at all.

Computer Monitors
Televisions
Printers
Computer Mice
Cell Phones
Scanners
Beepers
Fax Machines
Copiers
Typewriters
Toner Cartridges

All of these electronics, and more, can be recycled!

The electronics recycling process is fascinating.
Here is a quick diagram. 

Over 95% of these broken-down electronics can be forged into new products, but sadly only 29% of the global e-waste is handled properly.

Interestingly enough, a round 40% of the heavy metals in the U.S. landfills come from electronics.

Electronics are a few of the many items that the Chamber will be accepting at our annual Earth Day Recycling Event. 

Make plans to attend on Friday, April 20th!

Check out our Earth Day flyer below to see all of the items that we will be accepting for recycling.
