E Waste Awareness
Did you know that the average American household has about 24 electronic devices? That's right, 24! Now, imagine the impact of all those gadgets once they've reached the end of their life cycle. When these devices are discarded improperly, they contribute to the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste), which is harmful to both the environment and human health. It's crucial to recycle or donate old devices to reduce this environmental burden.

Hazardous Materials
