Why Electronics Recycling Matters
Electronic devices contain valuable materials that people can recover and reuse. However, when electronics enter landfills, they create unnecessary waste and may harm the environment.
By joining this local electronics recycling event, residents can:
- Reduce electronic waste
- Keep electronics out of landfills
- Recover valuable materials
- Support reuse and responsible recycling
- Promote sustainability in the community
In addition, reusable computers and laptops may support ERA’s technology donation programs. These programs provide refurbished equipment to schools, charities, non-profit organizations, and people who face barriers to technology.charities, non-profit organizations, schools, and individuals experiencing barriers to technology.
Protecting Your Personal Data
Data security remains an important part of responsible electronics recycling. ERA securely processes computers, laptops, hard drives, servers, and other devices that may contain personal information.
Before bringing a device, residents should back up important files, sign out of personal accounts, and remove any information they want to keep.
As a result, participants can support electronics recycling while taking simple steps to protect their personal information.
