E-Waste Collection Day: St. John's University (Gate 4 Parking Lot)
Why E-Waste Collection Day Is Important
Electronics have become an integral part of our lives, but their increasing usage leads to a significant amount of electronic waste or e-waste. Proper disposal and recycling of e-waste is crucial for the environment and human health. That's why St. John's University, in collaboration with local organizations, is organizing an E-Waste Collection Day at Gate 4 Parking Lot. This event aims to raise awareness about the importance of responsible e-waste disposal and provide an easy and convenient way for the community to get involved.
The Impact of E-Waste on the Environment
E-waste consists of various components like plastics, metals, and toxic substances, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. When improperly disposed of, these harmful materials can find their way into our soil, water, and air, causing pollution and negative health effects. By participating in E-Waste Collection Day, you are contributing to reducing the environmental impact of e-waste and promoting sustainability.
Proper Disposal and Recycling
We believe in the concept of "reduce, reuse, recycle" when it comes to e-waste management. Our collection event provides a safe and convenient way to dispose of your old and unwanted electronic devices. We work with certified recycling partners who ensure that e-waste is handled properly, and valuable materials are recovered for reuse.

What Happens to the Collected E-Waste?
Once the electronic waste is collected, it is carefully sorted and segregated into different categories. The recyclable materials, such as metals and plastics, undergo a proper recycling process to recover valuable resources.
