Why recycle problem waste?
When problem wastes are sent to landfill they can leach toxic or hazardous substances into our soil and possibly contaminate surface and ground water. These items contain valuable or non-renewable resources such as rare earth metals and plastics which can be recovered and incorporated into new products. Foil, silver and copper can be recovered from mobile phones and tablets. Batteries can be dismantled and made into new batteries. Plastics, metals and ink can be recovered from printer cartridges.
You can also search the Recycle Smart App for the best way to dispose of hundreds of household items. Download the app through Google PlayThis external link will open in a new window or the Apple StoreThis external link will open in a new window.
