Recycling Electronics

Modern living is filled with electronic gadgets. Cell phones are practically a standard accessory, computers aid in jobs and PDAs are a "must-have." While the high-tech industry has a relatively "green" reputation compared to some other industries, there are many environmental impacts of these devices. Metals are mined, minute parts are treated by chemicals. These devices have limited life spans and are difficult to recycle because they are made from many different materials.

With nearly one billion pounds of electronics being discarded in the United States each year, National Wildlife Federation (NWF), partnering with Access Recycling, hopes to reduce that amount going to landfills and incinerators by recycling them instead.
