Here’s a Jeopardy question for you… What weighs 200 million tons? The answer: the amount of electronic waste that goes into our landfills every year. Computers, monitors, cell phones, DVD players, copy machines, TV sets… you get the picture.

Most, if not all of this electronic waste, contains hazardous chemicals like mercury, lead and chromium that end up leaching into our ground water from landfills or being emitted into the air from incinerators causing a GROWING environmental and health crisis. This problem is fueled by the fast paced growth of new technology that renders electronic products obsolete long before their normal lifecycle ends and the fact that most people do not know how to properly dispose of these types of products. In fact, most don’t know that these products can be recycled and reused.

But discarded electronics can be properly disposed of or recycled and it is easier than most people think.  Tons of companies have programs that allow you to donate usable electronics to churches and schools, and other companies will recycle usable components, raw materials and materials like plastics, glass and aluminum.  Many cities also have e-waste pick up as part of their hazardous waste pick-up programs.

You can even take advantage of tax breaks when you donate your unwanted electronics.  The 21st Century Classrooms Act for Private Technology Investment allows large companies to donate used equipment to public and private schools for tax breaks and donations to nonprofits can be written off.  You will need to check with each nonprofit organization regarding its particular documentation for your tax returns. 

The environmental benefit to donating or recycling used electronics goes far beyond just keeping harmful chemicals out of our landfills; it also helps conserve our precious natural resources.  It takes approximately 530 pounds of fossil fuel, 50 pounds of chemicals and 416 gallons of water to produce one desktop computer.  Recycling electronic components can help preserve these resources and can also help use far less energy than the production of new components.  Mining of aluminum, for example, uses 20 times the amount of energy it takes to recycle the same amount of aluminum from electronic components.  Last year alone, electronics recyclers recovered over 100 million pounds of materials like aluminum, steel, glass and plastic which was reused.

Now that we know the benefits of e-cycling let’s, figure out how to find an e-cycler in your area.  You can start with the Electronic Industry Alliance . This site has an easy to use map that allows you to search for e-cycling by state and offers you several other helpful links to guide you through the process.  You can also check with your city government to see if it offers e-cycling as part of its hazardous waste programs or with Goodwill industries . There are several additional organizations you can check that offer training programs that teach students and individuals how to refurbish used electronics which are then donated to local schools:

Students Recycling Used Technology (StRUT)

Learning and Information Networking for Community via Technology (LINCT)

Reuse Development Organization (ReDO)

Even Sam’s Club has an interesting program that runs in cooperation with N.E.W. Customer Service Companies, Inc. Members of the organization who want to recycle computers, LCD monitors, printers, camcorders, digital cameras and MP3 players, can log onto the program’s website and print a FREE shipping label to have the products mailed to N.E.W. Those members will receive a Sam’s Gift Card for the value of the donated item.  All donated items are either refurbished or disassembled and the parts are used to rebuild electronics or recycled into raw material and reused.

 The final pieces to this recycle cycle are personal data security and rethinking your purchasing habits.  You need to protect all your personal data contained on computer hard drives and cell phones.  Please make sure to remove ALL stored phone numbers and call logs from your cell phone and you may even want to remove the SIM card to insure protection.  Cleaning up your computer may prove a little more difficult but is equally important.  If you are unsure of how to do this you can find FREE hard-drive erasers through your favorite search engine. Type in “free hard-drive eraser cleaners.”

Although there are no laws governing the use of hazardous materials in electronics equipment you can help to encourage manufacturers to move in a “greener” direction by considering the following when buying your next piece of equipment:

Does the manufacturer use recycled materials in their products?
Are the products designed for easy upgrades and disassembly?
Does the manufacturer offer a lease or “take back” program?
Does the manufacturer use minimal toxic materials in their equipment?
Does the manufacturer use minimal or recyclable packaging?

The age of electronics is upon us and with the constant introduction of new technology, system upgrades and fancy new gadgets coming at us daily we need to be more conscious of what we do with our e-waste. Take the time to do the right thing, remember one man’s trash is another man’s treasure and you may be surprised at who would love to have your “old” computer

Recycling is one of the best ways in which to have a positive impact upon the world in which we live in. Recycling is highly beneficial for the natural environment and human beings. The amount of the rubbish we create and dump into the environment is rapidly increasing everyday, which is having a horrendous effect on the environment, resulting in global warming and the increase in temperature rise.

The reasons why we are creating more waste are due to; increase in wealth, therefore we have more money to buy products, resulting in more waste. Increase in population means, there are more people creating waste. New packaging and technological products are being developed, much of these products contain materials that are not biodegradable.

Recycling is incredibly important as waste has an extremely negative blow upon the ecosystem. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste. Habitat destruction and global warming are some the affects caused by deforestation. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved.

The production of computer parts involves numerous chemicals which are highly dangerous to our health and surroundings. The Information Technology production industry has enormous carbon imprints; however the carbon imprints can be reduced through recycling of computer components.

In order to produce computer parts the IT industry uses raw dwindling resources and materials which are already relatively scarce. It is a well known fact that major companies only keep IT equipment for around 3 years and then dispose of it. Most of the IT equipment is in good condition and can be reused and deployed in the use of charities, homes, schools etc.

Recycling can help in the deployment of old computers, computer components and other computer related equipment, recycling redundant and damaged computers can be turned into component metals which can then go towards building new computer or fixing damaged machines.

Most of the environmental concerns which lie with inappropriate disposal of computers are the monitor. Each colour monitor contains on an average of 4 to 5 pounds of lead. Other chemicals found in computers are mercury, cadmium a known carcinogen and Hexavalent Chromium which is known to cause high blood pressure, iron-poor blood, liver disease, and nerve and brain damage in animals.

Organisations such as Oxfam have set up schemes where other charities and schools in the third world can benefit from old disposed computers. Oxfam collect old computers in order to raise money to help those in need. By disposing of computers in this way, you can help the environment and decrease the population levels. Also at the same time companies can feel good about the way they have disposed computers, knowing that they are helping others.

It is very important to recycle computers, due to high number of computers being disposed of incorrectly or just stored away, is increasing the risk of polluting the environment with unfriendly toxins and excess waste.

Basically any part / component of a computer can be recycled, the keyboard, mouse, printer and monitor. The steel cases can be sold on for scrap metals, as can the chassis of the computer, floppy drive chassis, hard drive cases and drive platters. Heat sinks have to be separated out during the recycling process due to their high aluminium alloy content and these are recycled separately and for less money per kilo nonetheless still worth a cash value.

Just by correctly disposing products can help the environment greatly. By doing this you are also doing your bit to help fight against global warming, habitat destruction and deforestation. All things which are harmful to us and the future generations that have to live on this planet. Due to vast amount of computer waste, computers could become more expensive, due to European laws may force makers to recycle old machines and computer hardware in order to help the environment.

Computer experts have warmed when the new laws are put into force overall computer prices may levitate to anything between $50 to $100. This may force companies into leasing computers to reduce their CPA, and bring down cost in general.

Overall disposing of computers correctly by recycling parts and components could result in a better cleaner less toxic environment. Cleaner environment means less global warming, habitat destruction and deforestation. Also reducing the amount of raw materials needed in order to produce these machines. It is therefore highly important to dispose of the computer in the right place. In many countries dumping of electronic equipment in many areas is banned due to highly toxic chemicals in some components.

We live in a ‘throw away’ society where nearly everything we buy can be discarded without even a moment’s thought.

Over the years, almost everyone will have been guilty of discarding paper and plastic packaging without ever considering recycling as an option. But with an increasing awareness of the environment and how human actions are affecting it, people are beginning to realise there are actions we can take to ensure the planet is healthy enough for future generations to live in.

But whilst little persuasion should be needed as to the prudence of recycling household waste as much as possible, there is an increasing concern that other household items such as televisions and old video recorders – items that aren’t so easy for consumers to recycle – are needlessly ending up in skips and landfill sites, even when there is very little wrong with them.

Indeed, many electrical items are so cheap to purchase these days that consumers often find it a lot easier to simply buy a new item rather than trying to source it second hand. This also means that their old items are worth a lot less, and so end up being discarded rather than reused. However, there is very little need to do this. Old computers, for example, can be donated to schools or local community groups, and there are charities that are able to accept electrical items and either sell them on, or arrange for them to be recycled.

This is particularly pertinent for mobile phones. Given that there is an estimated four billion mobile phone users on earth, many mobile phone handsets end up in landfill sites, which is a major problem considering a large proportion of mobile phones contain toxic chemicals.

As such, up to 80 per cent of the material in a mobile phone can be reused. And considering that mobile phone users have owned at least five phones on average in their lifetime, that is many billions of handsets that should be getting recycled rather than discarded.

The message does seem to be hitting home, and more and more people are beginning to realise how even the smallest of changes in attitude towards the environment can have a positive effect if everyone gets involved. And there is an increasing amount of initiatives now that are designed to help people minimise their waste.

There are mobile phone trade in schemes in place which are designed to encourage mobile phone recycling by compensating users when they upgrade to a more recent model. Their old handset can then be dispatched to developing markets in Africa or Asia, or they may even be used by insurance companies to help fulfil their mobile phone replacement policy.

So, whilst we do live in a disposable society, it seems we are taking steps towards rectifying our attitudes towards recycling. At a time when environmental issues are of paramount importance, such measures can’t come soon enough.

The rapid evolution of information technology is a double-edged sword. While constant improvements allow us to keep doing more in less time, the downside is that electronic equipment quickly becomes obsolete and needs to be replaced by newer, faster models. One obvious drawback of improving technology is the cost of replacing older models, but what happens to the old equipment? Many computer components are highly toxic to the environment, and virtually all electronic equipment utilizes some form of computer technology. What do we do with the computer we’re replacing? The group Local Self-Reliance estimates that about 75% of obsolete computers and other IT equipment is being stored, creating a time bomb waiting to go off. It will be a dark day for the environment when we all finally decide to dispose of this clutter.

Mercury, chromium, and lead are a few of the hazardous materials found in batteries, cathode ray tubes, and circuit boards. These toxins will be released into the environment if all this outdated equipment disposed of in traditional ways. Soil and water will be affected if this material is dumped in a landfill, and incineration releases toxic ash into the air.

This is why we shouldn’t simply trash our obsolete computers. Many organizations are dedicated to recycling old computer hardware. Recycling helps the environment and enhances quality of life for all of us. There are many volunteer and nonprofit groups that provide recycling services, recovering over 112 million pounds of valuable materials each year from old computers and other electronic equipment. Glass, plastic, steel, and precious metals can all be reused. Most of us don’t realize that even keyboards, CDs, floppy disks, ink cartridges, and power cords contain easily reusable materials. Some peripheral hardware can be utilized with a new computer, such as speakers and reusable disks.

Staples is one company that has instituted a green policy, where old equipment can be dropped off seven days a week for a $10 handling fee. Company spokesperson Mark Buckley estimates that in this country alone, 13,000 computers are disposed of daily.

According to Mark Buckley, of Staples, which has a green policy on accepting old equipment 7 days a week in a drop-off scheme, for a handling fee of 10$, estimates that 13,000 computers are disposed of every day in the U.S. While the company keeps many of the component parts, Staples hands off CR tubes and other hazardous materials to Amandi Services, which makes television components utilizing their own recycling technique. Another organization utilizing new technologies to complement and enhance the usual pulverizing and shredding is Creative Recycling. Their reclamation utilizes very efficient dust filters and negative air pressure in a controlled atmosphere. The output of this system includes various metals, plastic, and glass. The company aims to provide cost-effective solutions for government organizations and has invested millions of dollars in equipment in an attempt to lead the development of new recycling technology.

Not many people have noticed that recycling legislation has been passing in Europe for the last five years. That was when the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive was drafted, forcing computer manufacturing companies to pay for the recycling of old equipment in a safe manner. Unfortunately, since the industry operates with very small profit margins, most people believe the costs will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher computer prices. The additional cost per computer could be as much as $50, according to industry analyst Gartner. And while most people wouldn’t balk at paying a small premium to have their old equipment disposed of properly, the European Union is requiring more stringent demands of green components in the future. This will also increase manufacturing costs in the short term, raising prices even higher.

There aren’t many companies currently recycling computers in England, but the computer companies themselves are beginning to step up and provide alternatives for recycling old equipment. Dell is one computer manufacturer pioneering new ways to recycle old computer equipment. Find out more about computer disposal and recycling by visiting their website at http://www.computer-recycling-center.com.

Compared to Europe, this country is fortunate to have many local outlets for computer recycling. But don’t wait too long to drop off your old computer at a local recycler, because the cost is only going to get higher.

Why should you recycle ink cartridges? Well, there are many reasons. Firstly, and most importantly, it keeps them away from the landfills. Even though they are small, there are so many of them bought and thrown away every year that it does make a noticeable difference. For example, every year roughly 400 million ink jet cartridges are bought in the United States. Only a small portion of them, less than 25%, are recycled. That means that 300 million cartridges are thrown away every year, which adds about 60 million pounds of garbage to our landfills.

Since inkjet cartridges are made out of plastic they take hundreds of years to break down. If your community has curb side plastic recycling, then at the very least place your empty printer cartridges into the recycling bin.

That said, sometimes going the extra mile to recycle your lone ink cartridge just doesn’t seem like a big deal. That is why there are now many incentives and ways to recycle that make it very easy. Most cartridge manufacturers, such as Hewlett-Packard, Canon, and Dell all offer free cartridge recycling programs. The postage is pre-paid, so you don’t have to pay anything extra, and the shipping materials are either included in the new cartridge box or can be requested from their respective websites. All you need to do is put the cartridge, or cartridges, if you have several, in the free shipping box or envelope, print the label, and drop it off at your mailbox or with a courier service. Pretty easy, right?

That is not the only way to recycle, however, and many third-party companies now allow you to drop off your used cartridges. Office supply chains, such as Staples or Office Depot not only allow you drop off any empty ink cartridges at their stores, they will also offer incentives for you to do so. Stapes, for example, will give you $3 coupon for every HP, Lexmark, or Dell cartridge you recycle that you can use to get a discount on future cartridge purchases. Office Depot has a similar program for certain eligible brands and will also offer you $3 coupon to use for any purchase.

Another great way to recycle is by donating the proceeds to a charity or a cause. Staples, for example, has a program called Recycle for Education where they donate $3 to local schools for every recycled cartridge. There are also numerous organizations, such as Recycle 4 Charity that will accept empty cartridges and donate the proceeds to a charity. Recycle 4 Charity will donate the proceeds to a charity you choose from the list of charities they are in partnership with. If you are in UK, Homeless International is a great place to help the homeless in Asia, Africa, and Latin America by donating your used cartridges. There are numerous other organizations that have similar programs and you won’t have any problems finding one that benefits the cause you wish to help.

Whichever road you choose, it’s now easy and painless to recycle your ink cartridges and not only keep them out of landfills, but also get discounts or donate to a worthy charity.

Global warming is a very real threat to the preservation of our planet and recycling is one of many ways that people can cut down the amount of carbon dioxide that is released into our atmosphere.

Not only is recycling environmentally friendly, it is also cost effective since it reduces the amount of waste for disposal, saves space in landfills, is more energy-efficient than burning materials, and conserves natural resources. Reducing or nearly eliminating the need for these processes, therefore, achieves huge savings in energy. Did you know for example that recycling aluminium cans saves around ninety percent of the energy required to make the same amount of aluminium from new.

Recycling is more important than ever because just throwing away rubbish into a landfill or digging a hole and burying it is not a solution to the global waste problem. Our landfills are overflowing with hazardous waste and other products that are not biodegradable. Most organic waste items such as food will break down and decompose in a matter of weeks, leaving no trace. However, plastic bottles, disposable diapers and Styrofoam containers, to name a few, are all becoming huge problems in most areas of the world.

Recycling can mean the difference between a clean planet and one overrun by garbage. You may not believe it but we can all begin to make a difference towards preserving this Earth from landfills that are quickly becoming full to overflowing. The quality of future lives starts now, with your decision to recycle your own garbage.

Recycling is easy once you get everything sorted. You will need to sort out the recyclables such as glass bottles, plastics cartons and paper into the appropriate bins and from there, those materials are sent on their way to becoming something else for use. You can also utilize those food scraps and waste trimmings from the yard in a compost heap.

If every person did their part to help combat overflowing landfills, then we could reduce our waste by fifty percent which is half the amount going into landfills today. Perhaps there will come a time when we no longer have to continuously find new places to bury our waste. Plastics would be reused and organic materials would be turned back into the soil to enrich the ground for crops. It is a nice thought but the reality is that not enough people are doing their part to help make this a cleaner world.

Recycling is your responsibility and only you can do your part to help reduce the amount of garbage going into our landfills. Each time you throw away a recyclable you are adding to a growing problem. Deciding to recycle is an easy step and one that is remarkably simple to initiate. If you do not know where to start, there are plenty of resources, such as your local environmental department, to help you learn how to recycle your leftover waste

Do yourself and the earth a favour by doing your part. Your grand children and great grand children will thank you for it.

The importance of recycling materials today has become a matter of great concern for all people. At present, a lot of individuals and companies are finding ways to improve the habit of recycling. This is by coming up with ideas and machines that can help this world.

The importance of recycling materials today has become a matter of great concern for all people. Due to scientific research regarding the deterioration of the earth’s environment and the fast depleting of our natural resources, people all over the world are not working on this worldwide predicament of saving our earth through recycling.

Moreover, utilizing these used materials, it will not only lessen the consumption of our natural resources but it will definitely help our economy as well. At present, a lot of individuals and companies are finding ways to improve the habit of recycling by coming up with ideas and machines that can help this world. Besides, if you’ve heard of the saying that “there is wealth in trash” or “your trash is someone else’s treasure”, you will realize that there are still a lot of things you can do with those old bottles, papers plastics.

In several months or years, you’ll rediscover them. By then, the phones will seem worthless to you, so you’ll probably discard them and subsequently, the phones will end up in the local landfill.

How do you recycle cell phones?

Passing your old phones on to family or friends is the simplest method of recycling. The majority of the phones we discard for an updated model or after switching service providers remain completely usable and functional. If you give it to a friend or family member, you’ll be sure that the phone will have an additional year or two of use. However, this merely stretches out the phone’s life cycle. You can help the environment by telling the person receiving the phone to recycle it properly when the time comes.

You can actually return your old cell phones to the manufacturer for recycling. The leading US service providers and manufacturers such as Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint have cell phone take-back programs with free shipping and/or discounts in subsequent purchases. They’ll ensure that the phones are refurbished or recycled in an environmentally safe manner. The companies receive a steady flow of recycled materials for producing new things while you ensure that your old phones are recycled safely and you receive discounts as well.

Donate your phones to your favorite charity or non-profit organization. A lot of these groups collect old cell phones and sell them to recyclers and refurbishers to raise funds. You can work with other non-profit organizations and even request material assistance from recycling companies if you wish to initiate a similar project in your area. Even children are getting involved with these projects. Zoos often place cell phone collection boxes near the entrance. Raising funds for a noble cause will put good use to something that would have been useless or even harmful if discarded inappropriately.

Recycle cell phones through refurbishing and recycling companies. Selling your old or used phones to businesses is quick and easy. Everything can be done on the internet in several minutes. Just visit the company’s website, check the actual buying price of your phone, and request a shipping label. After receiving the pre-paid labels, package your phones and mail them to the company. The company usually sends you the check within 4 business days of receiving your package.

There’s plenty of opportunity to improve our efforts to recycle cell phones. As more consumers learn the importance of recycling cell phones, we will be able to increase the recycling rate across the nation.

Everyone is talking about the skyrocketing price of gasoline. Americas dependence on foreign oil has been the subject of much scrutiny, and a desire to find ways to release the tethers of oil dependence. One of the most popular ways is to find alternative sources for fuel.

However, many people don’t realize that a cost-effective and green way to partially release those tethers is by recycling used auto parts and automobiles. According to the Automotive Recyclers Association, recycling vehicles saves a projected 85 million barrels of oil per year, which would have been used in the manufacturing of new parts.

Not only do recycling cars and automotive parts create less of an impact on oil used per capita, recycling also makes a positive environmental impact. Imagine driving down a rural highway and looking to your left and then right. House after house, farm after farm might have cars and trucks deteriorating in the yard. Each of these vehicles leaks engine fluids scarring and polluting the earth.

While those cars piled up along that highway are posing potential environmental hazards, professional automotive recyclers must comply with a list of local and federal laws that deal with waste generated by those salvaged cars and trucks. In addition to keeping the land free of the pollutants from abandoned cars and trucks, recycling can potentially produce enough steel for car manufacturers to produce another 13 million new vehicles, according to the ARA.

Recycling those cars could also lead to potential income for not only the owners who sell their seemingly worthless cars and trucks, but also for the recyclers. When automobile recyclers process old cars, parts are salvaged before the car is reduced to scrap metal. Once these parts are refurbished, they can be made available at local parts stores and through the Internet at a substantially cheaper price sometimes up to 50 percent cheaper.

Since many automobile recyclers maintain a database of cars and/or car parts available, these recycled parts could be of great benefit for the many car enthusiasts around the world. Those enthusiasts would likely find parts much easier for their pet projects. After all what is a refurbished car but a completely recycled car?

While a junkyard or landfill could house the leftovers from all those used and abused cars, why not recycle? Recycling auto parts not only makes sense for the environment but for everyones wallet, so think twice the next time the need arises.

Introduction

Modern life is full of electronic gadgets. Cell phones, digital cameras, camcorders, MP3 players, computers, laptops, monitors and more are common in all modern households. These modern electronic devices provide entertainment and help us in many ways. The problem with them is that they wear out or become them.

Throwing electronic devices is not a solution .According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over 200 million tons of electronic waste (e-waste) ends up in landfills every year. The problem with this is that many consumer electronic items contain harmful materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium etc. These materials can pollute the land, water, and air.

Some items, such as computers and computer monitors, are banned from landfills and curbside trash pickup. In some states and municipalities, it is illegal to simply throw away such items. So the challenge is twofold, how to dispose of properly to comply with applicable laws, or how to dispose of properly because it is the environmentally responsible thing to do .

Recycling electronic gadgets

Most people are familiar with the recycling of cans, glass, paper, and plastic. They either take it to designated recycling centers at their landfill, or transfer station. When it comes to recycling the electronic gadgets, the task becomes significantly more difficult. Unlike cans, paper, plastic, and glass, there is typically not curbside recycling for electronic devices. You also typically cannot simply take such items and leave them at the landfill or transfer station. Thus, recycling our gadgets requires some thought and effort. It is important to know your recycling options for common electronic items.

Reuse Electronic Devices through Donation

An excellent option for electronic gadgets that are still in working order is to donate them to someone who can make use of them. Many schools and community groups are happy to receive working electronic items. Schools, for example, often are very appreciative to receive donated computers, peripherals, and monitors. There are even tax incentives built into the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 for companies to donate such items to schools. Cell phones are another item that many community organizations love to receive in donation. In addition, there are national organizations that will accept donations of electronic items. Some organizations that accept donations include: EIA Computers for Schools Another Byte Inc The Wireless Foundation The 911 Cell Phone Bank

Recycling Unwanted Electronic Gadgets

If reuse through donation is not an option there are numerous programs for recycling unwanted electronic items. Many municipalities will have special days at their landfill or transfer station where these items will be accepted for recycling. There may be a fee associated with these programs.

Conclusion:

In a nutshell we can say that all the electronic wastes may be recycled .Any individual & corporate can take initiative for recycling the e-waste so that productivity is improved taking environmental factors into consideration. Major manufactures of electronic items will accept them for recycling including Acer, Apple, Dell, Epson, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo/IBM, Panasonic, Sony, and Toshiba. Many major retailers also have recycling programs including Best Buy, Circuit City, Office Depot, and Staples. For cellular phones, many cell phone manufacturers, and all of the major wireless companies provide recycling programs for cell phones.

Its been some time since my last video and ths should make up for it and make sure you watch in HD. Our district has just begun Single Stream recycling so it is now possible to use the recycle trucks to collect the trash and recycling with one truck on smaller supscription routes. This truck is a 2007 Mack LE with a 37 cubic yard Labrie 60/40 Split body with dual tote dumper on passenger side. Thier are two chutes in the middle of the hopper controlled by hydraulics that can be moved either way you want them. At the same time you can dump 2 trash totes or 2 recycle totes or 1 trash and 1 recycle. I would prefer a normal side loader tote dumper which are faster but this is what I have to work with for now. If your wondering about how I collect bulk, I dont. The town has a contract with WM that collects bulk from every house once a month. This leaves me to just grab the household and recycle bin and go. So far I have put 5.26 tons of trash on the 60 side so I figure it could hold 6 to 6.5 tons. Around 1.75 tons of recyling on the 40 side but could hold alot more. I had to break this in two part because of length so enjoy.

Recycling has become a necessary way of life. It is just as easy to throw out to trash materials that can just as easily be recycled. The question is, who is going to be the one that does it? The answer is simple enough. Just hold up a mirror in front of your face. That is the person in charge of recycling in your household.

What gets recycled? There are four basic recyclable materials. These are paper, glass, aluminum, and plastic.

Let’s look at paper first. Most recycling centers accept all paper products. Put all your newspapers into a daily collection bin. You can start by reducing the amount of paper that comes in to our house. Cancel any unnecessary subscriptions to newspapers and magazines. Do you really need the newspaper if you don’t read it as soon as it comes in?

You can cut down on your junk mail by putting up huge signs on your mailbox. Recycle things like envelopes, packing material, etc. Print both sides of the paper and whenever you can use recycled paper.

Expended dry cell batteries are hazardous to the environment. They leach chemicals into the soil. Make sure you don’t put hem into the garbage as they contain harmful metals.. There are a number of places that pick up batteries for recycling. Find out is there is one near your home. You could call your local county government council to inquire. If possible, use rechargeable batteries so that you don’t have to keep discarding them as soon as their charge is gone.

Make sure you are careful if you are handling broken glass. Most county recycle programs have blue bins to recycle glass. If you are putting glass into a general recycle bin provided by the council, just check whether they accept broken glass because some do not. Clean out all the glass articles before you put them in. You don’t want the whole recycle center smelling to high heaven!

There are so many different kinds of plastic today but the two most recognizable items are polystyrene foam and polyethylene. Polystyrene comes in blocks or popcorn. Polyethylene is used in sheets and bottles. You should keep these materials in separate bags prior to local recycling centers where you can deposit plastic products. Clean them before you put them there.

And last but not least are aluminum cans. Every family consumes multiple gallons of beer and soft drinks. These take up voluminous air space, so you have to compress them. The easiest way is to pinch the empty can in the middle and then fold the top half over the bottom half. This will reduce the volume by half. There are can compressor presses available at some hardware stores where you can totally flatten an aluminum can just as if you were squeezing an orange.

Whatever way you choose to recycle, just do it. Nobody will give you a medal for your efforts, and you will not win the award of Recycler of The Month. Nobody will pay you a cent to recycle trash, although you could be fined if you violate a mandatory recycle law. The chief benefit comes knowing you are doing your part to keep the air and waterways clean. That is a benefit we all can live by

A cool video showing what happens to mobile phones when they are recycled and the impact of recycling.

Modern life is full of electronic gadgets. Cell phones, digital cameras, camcorders, MP3 players, computers, laptops, monitors and more are common in all modern households. These modern electronic devices provide entertainment and help us in many ways. The problem with them is that they wear out or become obsolete, and then we are faced with the challenge of how to dispose of them.

Simply throwing electronic devices in the trash may be 1 option, but it is an option with a significant environmental impact. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over 200 million tons of electronic waste (e-waste) ends up in landfills every year. The problem with this is that many consumer electronic items contain harmful materials such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium and more. These materials can pollute the land, water, and air. In fact, according to Earth 911, over 70% of toxic waste found in landfills comes from e-waste.

Some items, such as computers and computer monitors, are banned from landfills and curbside trash pickup. In some states and municipalities, it is illegal to simply throw away such items. So the challenge is twofold, how to dispose of properly to comply with applicable laws, or how to dispose of properly because it is the environmentally responsible thing to do.

Most people are familiar with the recycling of cans, glass, paper, and plastic. They either take it to designated recycling centers at their landfill, or transfer station, or they are picked up through curbside recycling efforts.

A Word About Recycling Batteries

General purpose and alkaline batteries are not considered to be hazardous waste by the US Government. These items may be disposed of with normal household waste except in California where non-households must dispose of them in accordance with the California Universal Waste Rules. Recycling programs for general purpose and alkaline batteries are rare.

Rechargeable batteries may be recycled for free. You may find a list of organizations that accept rechargeable batteries at the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
