Through http://www.castleink.com I am entering for a scholarship, which has led to an important discussion: The process of recycling technology items, and the reasons why you should not just throw these items into a dumpster.
Many items, such as old CRT monitors and televisions, contain harmful, toxic materials that cannot go into the normal landfills. However, most people do not understand the harm that this can do to the environment. Cities and townships often have "e-cycling drives" that for approximately $1-$5 per item, while other times organizations such as Boys and Girls Club will collect the items for free as a fundraiser, working with recycling companies who will pay them for the items they collect.
So please, take care of your environment! E-Cycle!
how do we know that they arent just taking r money and running? how do we know that it wont still end up in the landfills?
