5 Reasons Why You Should Be Recycling E-Waste Instead of Trashing It

Not everyone is familiar with the term “e-waste,” but almost everyone has some at home or at work.

A great description is provided by the Environmental Protection Agency website, or EPA. It states that “e-waste”, “electronic waste”, “e-scrap,” and “end-of-life electronics” are terms often used to describe used electronics that are nearing the end of their useful life, and are discarded, donated or given to a recycler.

The EPA goes on to point out, however,

“Though “e-waste” is the commonly used term, EPA considers e-waste to be a subset of used electronics and recognizes the inherent value of these materials that can be reused, refurbished or recycled to minimize the actual waste that might end up in a landfill or improperly disposed in an unprotected dump site either in the US or abroad.”

And that’s what Junk King Fairfax also sees as the biggest problem when it comes to e-waste removal and disposal in the Fairfax region, as well as the rest of the United States.

E-Waste Disposal and Recycling E-Waste: How’s That Working Out forE-Waste Disposal and Recycling E-Waste: How’s That Working Out for Us? Us?

We live in a world that is largely dependent on electronic devices in most every arena of life. At home, at work, and at play, we use electronics almost daily – and we often do so with little thought to how they’re manufactured nor  how they are disposed of.

And we routinely toss out old electronics without considering any potential consequences of e-waste.

As Earth911 relates for us,

“What is considered e-waste? More than just outdated mobile phones, e-waste is any electronic waste that is no longer wanted or is now obsolete, whether it works or not. Televisions, set-top boxes, DVD players, stereos, copiers, fax machines, tablets, computers, and plenty more electronic devices all become e-waste as soon as they are no longer wanted.”

Because electronic technology poses severe environmental consequences when it is landfilled as e-waste, it is vital that we recycle e-waste responsibly.

For example, when electronics break down over time, they release toxic chemicals into the soil, contaminating plants and trees. Improper disposal of e-waste can lead to toxins such as mercury, lead, and cadmium leaching into the groundwater, which can then flow into streams, ponds, and lakes.

In addition, if e-waste isn’t recycled, it’s often burned in incinerators. But because electronics are made up of plastics, glass, and metals, these produce dangerous emissions when burnt. Unfortunately, tons of waste electronics and other solid waste ends up in our oceans each year. The results of ocean dumping can be deadly to marine organisms, disturb biodiversity, and harm ecosystems.

The problem for most of us is that e-waste isn’t easy nor convenient to recycle.

While many local county and city governments often have e-waste collection days a few times a year, homeowners often end up having to store these unwanted or broken electronic waste items until they can be dropped off. And, while many electronic stores accept old electronics for recycling at no cost, this isn’t always simple or convenient either.

Which is why Junk King Fairfax specializes in e-waste disposal and recycling e-waste.

When Recycling E-Waste is a Challenge at Home or at Work

It’s a fact that we produce vast quantities of electronic waste in this country every year.

According to statistics put together by Earth911, in 2019, the U.S. generated 6.92 million tons of e-waste, which is equivalent to about 46 pounds per person. That means that in Fairfax County alone, for example, it’s quite probable that we generated almost 54 million tons of e-waste!

And, as a nation, we recycled only 15 percent of it.

By the way, the value of the raw materials that was contained in the e-waste produced in the U.S. during 2019 equaled $7.49 billion. In other words, without a comprehensive and effective recycling process for our old electronics, we are throwing away literally billions of dollars of gold, silver, and palladium, among other precious metals.

Tossing E-Waste in the Trash is not Recycling

But you cannot simply put your smaller old electronics in your recycling bin at home or at work, nor even in your commercial recycling dumpster.

Recycling e-waste requires disassembling the electronics, separating, and categorizing the contents by materials, and then cleaning them. E-waste items are then shredded mechanically for additional sorting with the use of advanced separation technologies.

And that’s in an ideal e-waste recycling world.

Or, as one source points out,

“[T]he range of different electronics makes dealing with “e-waste” as a single stream highly problematic, since recycling a fridge is very different f

rom recycling a smartphone. Further still, even individual electronic products are often made of mixed materials such as plastic, metal, and glass. This poses a problem for recyclers, as separating these materials is difficult, costly, and time-consuming, especially compared to single-material products like cans and glass bottles.”

Fortunately, by partnering with a professional junk removal company like Junk King Fairfax, all your e-waste disposal issues can be handled easily and affordably. And you can rest assured that it will also be done through a genuinely green process since Junk King is a major proponent of recycling e-waste and recycling in general.

Fairfax County is a thriving region economically. And part of that is reflected in the sheer number of commercial and business establishments located throughout the county.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, for example, as recently as 2020 it was estimated that in Fairfax County there were 31,769 “employer establishments” or places with employees. And these establishments accounted for a total employment 672,100 people.

And the one thing that almost every one of these more than 30,000 locations have in common is the need for junk removal.

When the Junk and Debris Becomes More Than You Want to ManageFairfax Junk Help Can Help With Business Junk Hailing Services Yourself

We generate a great deal of waste – at home, at work, and through manufacturing and building.

For example, just our daily trash, or garbage, waste is substantial. According to the EPA, the average person creates 4.4 pounds of solid waste each day.

And as one waste management site points out,

“Coffee cups, Styrofoam plates, and thin, film-like plastics are among the commonly used items that are often found in offices and also cannot be recycled.

Each year, the average office worker uses 500 coffee cups, all of which are sent to landfills. Whether Styrofoam or paperboard affixed with a leak-proof plastic liner—recycling the cups is incredibly difficult to be profitable for the industry. Over the course of the workday, miscellaneous materials like these often find their way into the trash over the recyclables.”

When it comes to commercial or industrial waste, the most common components include dirt and gravel, masonry and concrete, scrap metals, trash, oil, solvents, chemicals, weed grass and trees, wood and scrap lumber, and similar wastes.

The types of junk and waste material that end up in the nation’s solid waste stream are numerous.

Unlike residential trash, junk, and debris, commercial junk can vary widely from one business to another. Construction debris is a big factor in junk removal as are used pallets and unusable, old office furniture and equipment. Sometimes there can be an exceptionally large quantity of paperboard debris that has to be removed and disposed of. And the list goes on.

The real problem arises when a business finds itself with more junk or debris than it can fit into its commercial waste bins or dumpsters. And, many times, disposing of it themselves is either problematic or just not feasible.

So, what do businesses do when they need reliable junk removal and on short notice?

(Almost) Everything Comes with Options, Including Commercial Junk Removal

While some things like pricing or proper disposal of hazardous wastes are not negotiable, getting rid of your (non-hazardous) commercial and business waste, junk, or debris has options.

Simply put, they are:

  1. Do it yourself
  2. Do it yourself with outside help
  3. Hire someone to do it all for you

The first option, and one that many large enterprises often turn to, is to simply have their own personnel load, transport, and dispose of their business junk and waste. And they often do so in their own trucks or with trailers.

But if you’re not  Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, or even NVR home construction, you likely do not have the staff nor other resources to do it all yourself.

If you’re a smaller business in, say, Woodbridge, for example, and you have a load of old pallets, cardboard waste, and a few broken shelving units to get rid of, what are you going to do? You’ll have to rent a truck unless you have a full-size pickup truck. And unless you have enough employees on hand to do the loading and so on, you may have to do all that yourself. Not very practical…

On the other hand, if you had a roll-off dumpster rental delivered to your place of business, you could take your time loading all that junk and debris and then simply make a call to have the debris bin picked up by the vendor. Convenient, relatively easy, and you still did it yourself with a little outside help.

Option number three, however, is by far the most convenient and oftentimes the most cost-effective, even if the fee is higher than that of a dumpster rental or the cost of doing everything yourself.

Why is that? Because any time you or your employees spend moving junk, loading junk, and especially driving to a waste disposal facility and unloading is time, you must pay for. And it is productive time lost from your business.

With a full-service commercial junk removal option, you do little more than make the call and point out where the junk is.

And when you make that call to Junk King Fairfax, we’ll not only do all the heavy lifting, but we’ll even sweep up after ourselves before we leave.

Calling on Junk King is also the best way to ensure that you’re getting expert and professional commercial junk removal since we are the premier junk hauling service for businesses throughout the greater Fairfax region.
