Society today is so different from 50 years ago. We live in an age where people have become accustomed to simply throwing things away, whether they're worn out and broken or simply just old and boring. As technology continually advances, Americans are constantly looking for
the newest 'upgrade' and this is having a devastating effect on our
planet.
Every week we tie up our waste and it gets taken away by waste removal companies and most people never think twice about what happens to it next. The motto 'out of site, out of mind' is the mindset of millions and the repercussions of this are evident all over the country.
Our landfills are being capped at an alarming rate and most of the materials that line these massive dump sites can actually be recycled into other items. There are many items that can be broken down and reused to create new goods and one example is electronic waste, specifically computers.
Almost 99% of the components that make up these devices are recyclable. There are several toxic chemicals and heavy metals that are used in the manufacturing process including lead, cadmium, lithium, mercury and beryllium and not to mention the polluting plastics that don't easily biodegrade. When these items are irresponsibly disposed of they can pose serious threats.
These materials can leach out of the landfill and not only pollute our environment, but also cause harm to people and animals even at low levels of exposure. By recycling these items you can help avoid these dangers and drastically decrease the amount of raw materials required to create new products.
Start spreading the word about ways to transition from our disposable lifestyles and come on down and recycle your end of life materials with us to ensure that they are being responsibly recycled!
Gold Circuit E-Cycling has changed locations!
We're still in the Ludlow mill complex, but we've upgraded to a larger facility to better accommodate our customers.
We are located at 90 First Avenue in Ludlow, MA. Our new location, building 170, has a loading dock so customers can easily back up to our door to unload. Just ring the doorbell when you're here and somebody will be out to assist you.
We are open for drop offs anytime during normal business hours,
Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm as well as Saturdays from 8:00am-12:00pm.
We still provide customers with the same services including complete sortation and product tear down, hard drive shredding, secure paper document shredding as well as domestic CRT glass recycling and certified refrigerant evacuation.
We'll be posting to this blog weekly with helpful tips, facts, pictures
and reminders of upcoming community collection events so stay tuned for that!
