Electronic gadgets have gradually
become a necessity and an integral part of our modern lives. From mobile phones
to desktop computers to laptops and rechargeable batteries, we all use them in
our daily lives and do not even notice their value until they break down. This
is when we begin the search for a worthy successor and once, we find one we
forget the old device and dump it in the various corners of our living spaces.
After the long hibernation period
these old mobile phones and gadgets finally surface during a home renovation
when the question arises as to what needs to be done with it? This is where
most people in Gurgaon go wrong and dump it in the garbage bin. Discarding
electronic waste in your garbage is not only a bad practice but it creates a
huge impact on the environment. Electronic waste includes old circuit boards,
batteries and lots of plastic, the batteries create the most harm in a way that
it becomes toxic and pollutes ground water. It is estimated that the waste from
a single cell phone can damage up to 6 million litres of underground water and
render it non-potable. Most electronic waste has a similar amount of impact and
even worse in the case of plastics. It takes more than 500 years for plastics
to degrade or break down. The problem lies in changing our individual habits
and learning to be environmentally responsible. If everyone becomes responsible
for their own electronic waste then it would drastically reduce the impact that
electronic waste does to the environment.
To discard electronic waste safely
means to carry all your unused electronic items to specialized electronics
recycling stores. Such stores take care of the equipment for you and discard
and dispose the harmful parts of your items in an environmentally friendly
manner. In this way the recyclable parts end up in the scrap yards where scrap
metal recyclers like the E wasterecyclers in Gurgaon, with their expertise in metal recycling help
segregate and process the metal scrap in Gurgaon and
deliver them to their clients from the Middle East to around the globe.
