Environment - What you need to know for recycling electronics in Indiana
Via a press release today from e.Scrap:
Today, the Indiana Recycling Coalition (IRC) announces the kick-off of a statewide campaign to let Hoosiers know that electronic devices contain hazardous materials, such as lead and mercury, and should not be thrown in the trash. Instead, the IRC provides many resources for reusing and recycling electronics when they are no longer needed through a new e.Scrap education campaign and informational website, www.eScrapIndiana.org.“The campaign is designed to grab attention and drive people to the Indiana Recycling Coalition’s new website dedicated solely to the issue of electronic scrap, also called e.Scrap,” said IRC’s Executive Director, Michelle Cohen. Cohen continued, “Once at the website, a business person, homeowner, or anyone can find more information about the hazards that electronic devices contain, how to properly manage these materials, what laws apply, and even how to buy ‘greener’ devices in the future.” The website is a one-stop-shop for all information about proper management of electronics.
