We are excited to announce the launch of our highly anticipated e-waste events in partnership with Camo Crew. These events are free for everyone and aim to address the growing problem of e-recycling in the United States. By participating in these events, you can help make a difference right here in our own community, reducing the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfills and protecting our environment. Join us and let's work together to create a healthier and more sustainable future.
The Issue of E-Waste in the U.S.:
E-recycling is a major issue that needs urgent attention. Electronics represent only 2% of America's trash in landfills, but they contribute to a staggering 70% of overall toxic waste. When electronics are improperly discarded, they release harmful chemicals and materials that pose significant threats to both human health and the environment. By raising awareness and taking action, we can mitigate these risks and promote responsible e-waste management.
Camo Crew, in collaboration with our organization, has organized three e-waste events taking place in different locations throughout SE Wisconsin. These events provide an excellent opportunity for individuals, families, and businesses to dispose of their electronic waste responsibly. Here are the details of each event:
