We all know the virus has affected everyone in one way or another, including the recycling of electronics. Thus today, we will cover a little of some of the changes. Information taken from a couple of articles in an E-Scrap newsletter.
An article started with “Processors and state programs alike saw a lot less material this spring as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. But in the last couple months, inbound volumes have returned and surged in some cases.”
To help take care of the increasing amount of electronics being recycled, steps taken by several companies were mentioned. The first had to do with that little town north of us, Austin. There, we found, “R3eWaste, a zero-landfill electronics recycling company, has opened a 10,000 square foot eWaste facility in North Austin, serving residential and business customers.”
