About E-waste Recycling
Electronic waste, or e-waste, refers to discarded electrical or electronic devices. As technology advances rapidly, the amount of obsolete electronics continues to grow, posing a significant threat to our environment. E-waste contains hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can harm human health and contaminate the soil, water, and air.
Proper recycling of e-waste is crucial to prevent these hazardous substances from polluting our ecosystem. Recycling also helps conserve valuable resources by recovering materials like copper, gold, and silver from old devices. By participating in this event, you can make a positive impact on both the environment and the economy.
