Junk King Can Reduce Your E-Waste
As new technology becomes available faster and faster, you’re going to be replacing your old technology every few months. Whether it’s the latest smartphone, smartwatch, or flat-screen TV, people today are replacing these items as soon as a newer version comes out instead of giving the electronic its full use. The quick turnaround with electronics is why it is so important to recycle your electronics. At Junk King Baton Rouge, we can assist you in recycling your electronics, big or small, with our hauling services. There are many reasons why you should be recycling your e-waste. Check out some of the reasons below.
1. Reduce Your Environmental Impact
With the amount of e-waste made every year, it’s important for some of the waste to get recycled. The United Nations reported that in 2019 nearly 53 million tons of e-waste was discarded and only about 20% of that was recycled. If this number continues to grow, e-waste could cause a crisis for the world.
2. E-Waste Can Contain Hazardous Materials
It’s important to understand how throwing away e-waste can affect human health. The National Health Institute reports that e-waste is hazardous because it contains metals and chemicals that can be harmful if not disposed of properly. At Junk King, we can responsibly provide you with e-waste recycling as part of our junk removal services so that you know your e-waste is not causing any problems.
3. Send Your E-Waste to the Right Destination
If you are getting rid of old electronics but are still working, Junk King can make sure that they go somewhere that they will be used. Whether it is an old cellphone or an old TV, if it is still functioning, there are plenty of people who can use these devices.
