Here are some of the devices we accept for recycling and donating:
- Old Electronics Recycling and Donating: The landscape of electronics is vast and varied. Every device has a lifecycle. Once they reach the end of their usability, they shouldn’t be discarded thoughtlessly. We provide a sustainable solution, ensuring these electronics are recycled or repurposed, reducing the burden of e-waste on our planet.
- Cell Phone Recycling and Donating: The evolution of communication has given us a plethora of cell phones. From the earliest models to the latest smartphones, these devices are a marvel of technology. However, they also contain precious metals and components that can harm the environment if discarded improperly. We specialize in recycling these phones, ensuring they don’t contribute to the growing e-waste problem.

The Environmental Paradigm
The global impact of e-waste is undeniable. Recent studies indicate that the world generates approximately 50 million metric tons of e-waste annually. This staggering amount is equivalent to throwing away 1,000 laptops every single second. When electronics are discarded improperly, they can leach harmful chemicals into the soil, contaminating water sources and endangering wildlife. For instance, a single cell phone can contaminate 40,000 gallons of water if not disposed of correctly.
However, the silver lining in this grim scenario is the power of recycling. Electronics recycling not only curbs this environmental threat but also presents numerous benefits:
- Resource Conservation: Recycling one million laptops saves enough energy to power over 3,500 US homes for an entire year. Similarly, recycling a million cell phones can recover 35,000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold, and 33 pounds of palladium.
- Carbon Footprint Reduction: Electronics recycling can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, recycling an old refrigerator is equivalent to taking two cars off the road in terms of carbon dioxide emissions saved.
- Economic Benefits: The e-waste recycling industry is a significant job creator. For every 10,000 tons of e-waste processed, up to 296 jobs can be created. Moreover, the recovered metals from electronics can be reintroduced into the production cycle, reducing the need for mining and the associated environmental degradation.
By choosing to recycle with Sustainable World Recycling, you’re not just disposing of your devices responsibly. You’re actively contributing to a movement that conserves energy, protects natural resources, reduces the need for precious metals extraction, and ensures a safer, greener planet for future generations. Every device recycled is a testament to a collective commitment to a sustainable future.
