“Electronics” includes a long list of products from televisions and computer components to phones and cell phones, VCRs, DVD players, fax machines, stereo equipment, and copy machines. As new technologies are developed, producers work very hard to convince consumers that they “must have” the latest model. But what happens to the staggering quantities of those “obsolete” electronics?

The EPA estimates that between the years of 2000 and 2005, as many as 250 million PCs will be junked. The electronics industry estimates that 100 million cell phones will be discarded every year. Not only is this a huge amount of material, but also much of it contains significant amounts of hazardous substances.

The long-term solution to this problem is to work for a comprehensive plan to require manufacturers to be responsible for what they produce from cradle to grave and provide recycling and remanufacturing of their products. Until then, when it comes to reusing and recycling, we are on our own.

Of course, it is always better to reduce before you reuse, and reuse before you recycle. But we suggest you first RESIST buying the up-to-the-minute technology with all the latest bells and whistles. If the draw (or need) is too powerful and you purchase new equipment, try to find a new “home” to reuse your no-longer wanted gear. Ask a local non-profit community organization or school, or maybe the family next door to see if they can use it.
