How to Responsibly Ditch Electronic Waste When You Move

4/21/2023

​Moving can be a stressful time, and it's easy to overlook the environmental impact of your belongings. One of the biggest sources of waste during a move is electronic waste, or e-waste. E-waste is any electronic device that is no longer in use, including computers, televisions, cell phones, and printers.
E-waste is a major problem because it contains hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. These materials can pollute the environment if they are not disposed of properly. E-waste can also end up in landfills, where it can release harmful toxins into the air and water.
 ​There are a number of things you can do to responsibly ditch e-waste when you move. Here are a few tips :
  1. Do your research. Before you get rid of any electronics, take some time to research the different options available to you. There are a number of companies that specialize in recycling e-waste, and many municipalities have e-waste recycling programs.
  2. Choose a reputable recycler. Once you've done your research, choose a reputable recycler to handle your e-waste. Make sure the recycler is certified by the National Electronics Recycling Council (NERC).
  3. Remove all personal information. Before you recycle any electronics, be sure to remove all personal information from the devices. This includes things like your name, address, and phone number.
  4. Dispose of batteries properly. Batteries should never be thrown in the trash. They should be recycled or disposed of at a hazardous waste collection center.
  5. Donate or sell working electronics. If your electronics are still working, consider donating them to a local charity or selling them online. This is a great way to give your electronics a second life and prevent them from ending up in a landfill.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your e-waste is recycled properly and that the materials are reused or recycled.
