With amounts of e-waste growing rapidly each year urgent solutions are required. The developing countries have become toxic dump yards of e-waste. It is anticipated that this change will create an enormous wave of e-waste of up to 80 million televisions becoming obsolete and discarded.

Conserves natural resources: Recycling recovers valuable materials from old electronics that can be used to make new products. As a result, we save energy, reduce pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save natural resources by extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.

Anything from mobile phones, computers and TVs to kitchen appliances and electrical tools can be taken to your local recycling centre and placed in an e-waste recycling bin. Each electronic item contains a variety of materials, meaning that there are plenty of different uses for recycled e-waste.
