More and more electronic products that contain heavy metals are ending up in our landfills. Toxins from these products affect wildlife and can get into our water supply, poisoning the water we drink. Recycling these millions of tons of electronic waste instead: Keeps toxic materials out of landfills, Conserves and reuses natural resources, Reduces greenhouse gases, And creates jobs!
