EPA Applauds Progress in Recycling Electronic Waste


Collaboration among EPA and its 21 Plug-In To eCycling partners over the last three years has resulted in the safe recycling of more than 60 million pounds of old electronics.

And this...

Americans discard approximately 2 million tons of used electronics, including computers and televisions each year. In addition, an estimated 128 million cell phones are retired from use annually.

Do the math. We have managed to recycle 30,000 tons -- yet we are producing 2,000,000 tons annually. Clearly, we have a LONG way to go. Now, do YOUR part and take your e-waste to the Williamson County Recycling Center.
