(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 27, 2011 ) Ferndale, MI - E-waste, a term coined from electronic waste, abounds greatly in the industrial world. In some studies, there are about 300 million and more of the computers that are largely unused within US; a fact which sheds light to one of the many disposed of electronics throughout the country. Additionally, massive amounts of other familiar devices, such as mp3 players, television sets, laptops and mobile phones have increasingly been added to the nationÂ’s junk. It is quite a dilemma on how to properly discard these things without causing much harm to the community.
E-waste and Its Negative Effects
Not only are the bulk and sizes of these devices are unpleasant to see, but all of them contain one or two chemicals that can be highly toxic. Ferndale Dumpster (http://www.ferndaledumpster.com), a dumpster rental company, emphasizes the hazards which these objects are usually made up of. Externally, electronics are made up of plastic, glass, metal and other relevant parts that cannot be placed into the landfill. These items take up time to degrade and thus, cannot be mixed along with the regular waste that is thrown in local facilities. Clearly, e-waste is of non-biodegradable type.
Internally, e-waste is comprised of materials that can harm the environment. For one, computer monitors, television sets and common circuit boards contain lead. Flat panel monitors, which are recently released, contain a hefty amount of mercury. Laptop batteries contain cadmium. These elements, along with other hazardous chemicals, are very hazardous and can potentially do some damage to oneÂ’s health when inhaled. Thus, it is imperative that one should not be in contact with these materials, as it may contaminate not only the human body, but also the environment.
There are a lot of people who choose to incinerate these items, but that is a bad idea. Another hazardous element in e-waste is the Polyvinyl chloride or the PVC, which is normally used in cable insulation. When burned, PVCs release chlorinated dioxins that pollute the air.
Proper E-waste Disposal
Personal disposal of e-waste is not recommended, unless you really know what you are doing. To ensure your safety as well as the environmentÂ’s, better leave the task on to the hands of the professionals who understands how proper e-waste disposal works. If you are throwing out bigger appliances, Ferndale Dumpster recommends to donate these unused materials to your municipalÂ’s charity programs, or rent a dumpster to take them to the right facilities. This way, you will be able to take the extra clutter of your house, and still managed to perform the correct means of dispatching electronic waste without harming the environment.
