The Environmental Impact of Improper Electronics Disposal

How Rhode Island Communities Benefit from Recycling

Improper disposal of electronics can release harmful substances such as lead, mercury, and flame retardants into the local environment. These toxins can pollute Rhode Island’s soil, waterways, and ecosystems if left in landfills or dumped illegally.

 

Responsible electronics recycling helps reduce pollution, preserve natural resources, and keep harmful waste out of landfills. It also supports job creation and promotes environmentally focused practices in local industries and municipalities.
