Drop them off
at the Habitat ReStore in Redlands!
It has been 1 year since Habitat for Humanity
San Bernardino Area teamed up with All Green Electronics Recycling to provide
the community with an ongoing drop off center to recycle e-waste. Since then,
we have collected a total of 57,819 pounds of e-waste!

| Lots of old computers! |
That’s 57,819 lbs. of electronic
waste diverted from our local landfills!!
Thank you All Green for this wonderful partnership! And thank you to all the members of the
community for recycling responsibly!
What is e-waste? That dated laptop in your hall closet, that VCR
you haven’t used since you got the new DVD player, the dust-covered monitor in
your garage, or basically anything with a plug that is unused, obsolete or
non-working. Members of the community and
businesses are encouraged to clean out their garage or attic and recycle their
old electronics. Bring all of your old electronics, including, but not limited
to: computers, monitors, televisions, printers, mobile phones, laptops, DVD
players, VCRs, microwaves, calculators, iPods, cables and wires, telephones,
fax machines, scanners, computer parts, and more. All Green Electronics
Recycling promises to recycle everything it accepts in North America and to
never send electronics to a landfill or overseas for processing.

E-waste contains heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium,
cadmium, and zinc that contaminate our soil and water, and is responsible for
70 percent of all heavy metals found in landfills today. A recent report by the
Environmental Protection Agency says e-waste in landfills will grow four-fold
over the next five years.
