Buying refurbished items is a great way to get the electronics you want for
a lot less money.
According
to the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition, consumer electronics in the United
States already account for 70% of the heavy metals, including 40% of the
lead, found in landfills. Reuse and recycling help keep these
contaminants out of the environment. Source: EPA Website
Refurbished items must pass through more thorough testing to make it onto
the market then new ones so there is less likelihood of early failure.
Electronic equipment is the fastest
growing category of municipal solid waste. According to the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), in 2005, used or unwanted electronics amounted to
approximately 1.9 to 2.2 million tons. Source: EPA Website
