E-WASTE
The Entertainment Consumers Association® (ECA®) backs environmentalism.
To that end, ECA® urges its members to recycle e-waste, which is the informal definition for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Cell phones, computers, televisions, game consoles (such as the PlayStation, Xbox, DS, PSP, and Wii) are among the many electronic products that can be recycled. Unfortunately, discarded electronic products are one of the fastest growing segments of our nation's waste stream.
Recycling e-waste is one way in which ECA® members can make environmentally-friendly choices in disposal of old, outdated or broken electronic devises. The term recycling means the equipment is disassembled and the plastic, glass and metal components are recovered and used to manufacture new products.
There are recycling centers across the country at which members can recycle used computers and game consoles. To find the recycling center nearest you, please visit My Green Electronics and type in your zip code.
