Electronics Recycling in Chino: A Complete Guide
Chino has options for responsible electronics recycling. Whether you have one old laptop or a garage full of outdated equipment, here's your complete guide.
What Counts as E-Waste
Any electronic device that you no longer use is considered e-waste:
- TVs and monitors
- Desktop computers, laptops, and tablets
- Cell phones and smartphones
- Printers, scanners, and fax machines
- Game consoles and peripherals
- Cables, chargers, and accessories
- Stereos and audio equipment
- Smart home devices
Why E-Waste Recycling Matters
Electronics contain hazardous materials including lead, mercury, cadmium, and flame retardants. When these end up in landfills, they can leach into soil and groundwater.
On the flip side, electronics also contain valuable materials — copper, gold, silver, and rare earth elements — that can be recovered through proper recycling.
