What Electronics Can You Recycle?

There are a lot of questions floating around about the different types of electronics that can be recycled rather than simply thrown away into a landfill.
Well, the answer is that all electronics can be recycled.
Each electronic has elements that can be useful to either other electronics or even some research.
The elements included in electronics can damage the earth and even have an effect on you eventually.
There are so many electronics that are stored and just tossed in the garbage.
These eventually are going to effect the environment enough that the flora and fauna are going to suffer.
Water and air pollution are big problems with electronics.
The earth suffers five percent more every year because of toxic metallic gasses and oils as well as other hazardous waste that comes out of the pieces included in these machines.
Any electronic machine can be taken apart even if it is just for one piece that can be recycled.
Copper, mercury, led, plastic, glass and other elements can all be separated and melted down into their own piles and disposed of properly without hurting the environment.
Mercury is harmful to the soil and to fish when it spills into the water.
Led, used in the computer screens, is also harmful and deadly to people and will eventually invade our drinking water supply if we don't start doing something about it now.
If there are parts of your electronics that can be reused for other machines like cell phones or refurbished computers they will do that.
Although, your hard drive and other pieces of your electronics that posses data will not be used.
In fact, they will be destroyed within 48 hours of being given to the plant.
That way nobody will ever have access to your data information ever again.
This means that hackers can't find your computer in a landfill and retrieve the info because it will be automatically destroyed.
It is always a good idea to recycle your electronics rather than throw them out.
People don't realize what harm they are doing to others and to themselves by not recycling.
There are over 130 million cell phones that are thrown away every year without even giving a second thought.
Get involved with saving your environment, your town and your future by recycling whatever electronics you have rather than dumping them in the trash.
It is obviously easier, but in the long run it is going to be harder.
