E-waste often ends up in landfills, releasing toxic substances into the soil and water. Recycling E-waste allows for the extraction and reuse of valuable materials such as metals and plastics. You can contribute to conserving natural resources and reducing the need for new raw materials. Electronic devices contain hazardous components like lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can be harmful to human health. Proper disposal ensures these substances are managed safely, minimizing health risks for everyone.
