Now you have greater awareness of the consequences of E-waste production, you can reduce the harm you are causing the global community and the planet. Some individual actions that we ourselves can engage in to do our part in reducing the amount and impact of E-waste is:
Try to use your electronics for a longer period of time instead of regularly upgrading them for a newer model.
Try to repair your electronics instead of throwing them away.
Find out where is the nearest E-waste recycling bin near you, and use those when you need to dispose of old electronics.
Enquire about any E-waste disposal program from your retail manufacturer. Also, you can have the number of an E-waste collection agency on hand. Collection is usually free and convenient!
You can always donate you old gadgets to charities or programs for underprivileged families.
