Earth Day E-Cycling

Why an "ecycling" event?

When electronic waste is disposed of responsibly, you can help remedy the threat that electronic products pose to the environment, people and animals. They are jam-packed with heavy metals, semi-metals and various chemical compounds that can leak into soil and become hazardous. As they’re being thrown away or placed in the landfills, the products often break which can expose the inner workings and those dangerous chemicals and metals, if they are taken in faster than the body can dispose of them, can be a big risk. Many of these chemicals and metals are known causes of serious health conditions like cancer, diabetes, impaired cognitive function, damaged organs and more.

Why volunteer?

By volunteering to help with TWCSC’s Ecycling event, you enable members of your community to get rid of old electronics by dropping off their electronic waste at their own convenience. This simple act prevents items from being dumped in a landfill and adding to the mounting problem of electronic waste. This is a huge step you can take to conserve the environment and help protect the plants, people and animals that live on our planet!

Don’t let any more of your community’s electronic waste get shipped off to the landfill, where it could poison the earth for future generations.
