Why Your Company MUST Have an E-Waste Recycling Solution

Here at Shift Recycling we take the problem of electronic waste (e-waste) disposal very seriously and so should you. E-waste is the fastest growing type of waste and now constitutes 5 percent of all municipal solid waste worldwide. Due to the toxic chemicals and heavy metals contained in electronics it is imperative that these materials are properly disposed of. Sadly the vast majority of e-waste ends up being shipped, often illegally to developing countries where unskilled workers put themselves at risk to extract the valuable materials within these products. 

Whilst many businesses today are unaware of or unconcerned with the growing threat that e-waste poses to the environment and the citizens of the developing world they will not be able to be apathetic to this problem much longer. As community awareness grows through the initiatives of environmental organizations such as the Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) people will begin looking to their local businesses to determine their solution for tackling this issue. 

Shift Recycling has taken a multi-faceted approach to dealing with the issue of e-waste by offering pick-ups throughout the Greater Toronto Area (usually free of charge) to both individuals and businesses as well as conducting community collection events which raise funds for local charities. These efforts not only help the environment but also enhance the image of these organizations.
