Fax machines and other office equipment like photo copiers and phone equipment all break down over time, especially when they are constantly being used. Whether your office equipment is used in a traditional office setting or at home for personal business, it's important to recycle broken or unused equipment to help protect the environment.

Likewise, as cell phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) become more prominent in our everyday lives, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking steps to encourage consumers to recycle these products instead of adding them to our nation’s landfills. The EPA has targeted cell phone recycling due to the fact that despite the large number of programs available, most consumers still do not know how or where they can go to recycle their cell phones. Consequently, only 10 percent of unwanted cell phones are recycled each year. Recycling cell phones leads to significant environmental savings.
