E-waste is a serious problem. Electronic waste, or e-waste, is any electronic product that has reached the final phase of its life cycle and cannot be used anymore. The world produces 50 million tons of electronic waste a year, becoming the world’s most quickly growing waste source. Sadly, no more than 20% of e-waste is properly recycled, with the other 80% being dumped in landfills or being unproperly recycled. If it is not properly recycled, e-waste can have a negative impact on our environment by releasing toxins, heavy metals and pollution into the air, soil and water. It is also one of the leading causes of landfill fires. Green Century Recycling will perform secure data destruction (NIST 800.88) on data-containing devices. Questions (503) 764-9963. E-YOU there on June 7!
