Why should you E recycle? Here's 5 reasons most people can't argue with:
1. It reduces waste in landfills - a lot of the materials in products that we accept for E recycling are not easily decomposed. Aluminum, steel, tin and plastic all can take thousands of years to decompose, if not longer
2. Protects the environment - many of the products we take in are not even legal to dispose of in the trash, much less anywhere else. We break down the components to the smallest denominations possible without chemicals, and virtually all parts get reused or reallocated.
3. Increases natural resource availability - to go along with number two, the materials we gain and recycle go back into the marketplace. Which in turn increases their overall availability and keeps their market prices lower. Gold, platinum, copper, palladium and nickel are all valuable resources that r gone forever if they hit a landfill or the trash or worse.
4. E recycling helps climate issues - recycling requires less carbon than manufacturing of the same materials, helping to protect our ozone layer as well.
5. It makes your home/business look better - who doesn't have a pile of stuff that they just don't know how to get rid of? And they end up just living with it? It lays around in the way, or takes up space in closets and attics that could be used for other, more useful stuff. Better to use the space for storing winter clothes in the summer than a 20 year old computer that will never boot again.
And don't forget, we do free pickup!
