Everyday, Americans generate 4.5 pounds of trash. Electronic recycling offers a way to capture the electronic materials that were destined for the waste pile and convert those materials back into the raw commodities that are required to create new products. A "Cradle to Cradle" approach is one that ensures that as materials finish their useful lifecycle, they are recaptured and broken down into their recyclable components. By commoditizing all electronic waste we are able to help protect the environment and save energy that would have been needed to mine and process the original raw materials.

The electronic recycling at the Recycling & Paper Shredding Event will be managed by Electronic Recyclers International, a company recognized for its environmentally and socially responsible practices.
