Recycling e-waste reduces environmental pollution, conserves resources by recovering precious metals, and reduces landfill waste.

Devices are dismantled to separate metals, plastics, and components. Valuable metals are extracted, and harmful materials are handled safely.

Many communities have designated e-waste collection sites, and some retailers and manufacturers offer recycling programs.

Batteries contain metals like lead, mercury, and lithium that can pollute soil and water if not disposed of properly. Recycling recovers valuable materials and reduces environmental risks.

Most batteries, including lithium-ion, lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and alkaline, can be recycled, though requirements vary. Check local guidelines.

Batteries are separated by type, then dismantled to extract metals and neutralize hazardous chemicals. These materials can be reused in new products.

Many retailers, recycling centers, and community programs accept used batteries for recycling.
