Here are a few steps you can take to minimize the risk of e-wastes: • Re-evaluate – take some time out to think if you really need that extra gadget. The best thing to do would be trying and finding one device with multiple functions. • Extend the life of your electronics – you can extend the life and operation of your device by buying a case, keeping your device clean, and avoiding overcharging the battery and it will work better and for longer too.
Buy environmentally friendly electronics – you can start by looking for products labeled Energy Star or certified by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT).
Donate used electronics to social programs – by doing this, you may be doing a good deed for many people. Victims of domestic violence, children safety initiatives, environmental causes and many others can benefit from your responsible action.
Reuse large electronics - there are many places that use reuse large electronics or recycle them responsibly which means the e-waste is handled the right way. Make some effort to find them instead of throwing away your machine like that. • Recycle electronics and batteries in e-waste recycling bins – you will find large bins that are specifically placed for this purpose. Large electronics can go in the larger bins found in your building or in specific places to make e-waste handling safe and efficient.
