According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, electronic equipment contains metals and other materials that can become hazardous to human health and the environment if they are not properly managed.

WorkWaste offers television and other electronics collections for recycling. Electronics are manufactured using a number of valuable resources such as plastics, precious metals, glass, steel, and other materials that all require energy to manufacture. When electronic equipment is thrown away, these resources cannot be reused and additional pollution is created to manufacture new products from raw materials.
