Acceptable and Unacceptable Electronics

Introduction to Electronics Recycling

At Festivals Bazar, we understand the importance of responsible electronic waste management. With the ever-increasing use of electronics in today's society, it becomes crucial to dispose of them properly once they reach their end-of-life or become obsolete.

The Need for Proper Electronics Disposal

Improper disposal of electronics can have detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Many electronic devices contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants, which can leach into the soil and water if not handled correctly. Recycling electronics helps prevent these harmful substances from entering the ecosystem.
