Humanity has great instincts and as a result, together we are helping to create a cleaner environment. Most people feel guilty about throwing hazardous waste in the trash and rightfully so.
The electronic age is relatively new compared to most industries but humanity seems to understand throwing electronics in the garbage is a bad idea. The computer age has brought an understanding that dumping electronics is extremely harmful to the environment.
I would love a penny for every electronic device people hold on to for no other reason than they don’t know how to dispose of them safely. They just don’t know how or where to dispose of their electronics.
