Environmental Health & Safety Online
Environment, Health and Safety Online (EHSO) is a resource for environmental news and information.
It includes instructions and recommendations for recycling programs in each state, as well as lists of businesses and services where you can take an old tv, computer, phone, battery, or washing machine to be recycled.
EHSO also provides professional guidance for answering questions about air and water pollution, food safety, and building material compounds.
1-800-Got-Junk?
1-800-Got-Junk is a private business that charges to remove waste from your home, office, or place of work.
They claim to remove almost anything, including old furniture, appliances, electronics, yard waste, and renovation debris.
You pay for workers to come and pick up your junk, which is then recycled or donated. They can load junk items wherever they may be, even if it’s inside your house.
It’s a nice solution for those who are unable to move or lift heavy appliances.
1-800-Got-Junk also has a convenient tool to help you estimate how much the service will cost, depending on what you need removed.
CalRecycle
CalRecycle is a recycling resource operated by the state of California. The site shows you where you can recycle your electronics, depending on the county you live in.
Unlike with 1-800-Got-Junk, you would need to transport the items to the recycling center yourself, though doing so will save you money.
CalRecycle also has some resources and information for the proper recycling of other products and goods.
Recycler’s World
Recycler’s World is like a Craigslist for recyclers. In addition to providing a huge selection of information and instructions for recycling all kinds of goods, it has a buyer/seller exchange.
You can use the exchange to post listings for waste and scrap products, providing buyers with an important resource for cheap recyclables.
Businesses or individuals looking to sell off old electronics may find Recycler’s World to be an invaluable resource.
