Let's outline the three Rs - Reduce Reuse Recycle:

• Reduce - This basic concept is to just use less of anything you can use less of such as fuel, electricity, grocery bags, etc. Think of anything you could take with you from home so you do not need to use a new one when you're out. Like say a coffee cup.
• Reuse - This method would include reusing elements of fixable items, otherwise known as hand-me-downs. How about giving your broken computer to someone who can repair the broken element(s) and reuse the machine?
• Recycle - This idea is to take anything at the end of its useful life, separate components down to basic commodities, then have these materials manufactured into new goods. Just contact us to pick up anything electronic and we will recycle it. Our core service.

Who should reduce reuse recycle?

You're not just anyone!

You are a powerful co-creator of our environment. You are a very important person because you are already helping, or are learning to help the environment by recycling, reducing and reusing your material goods.

You are most likely already going green at home, hence the reason you've found this page. So to answer the question, who should reduce, reuse and recycle... you should and the rest will follow!

What should you reduce reuse recycle?

About two years ago, my good friend Dave started experiencing financial success from a business he ventured into. It was soon time to move his family out of their dilapidated rental house, filled with worn in furniture, and into their new beach house.

His recent success included desires for a new car, furniture and housewares, etc. He decided to let go of almost everything non-essential from his previous residence.

I asked him, "What's your plan for all of the stuff you're not keeping?" He replied, I'll just throw it out or leave it behind. He doubted he'd get much money for his used furniture and housewares via yard-sales, Craigslist, eBay, etc.

I encouraged him to think about what else he could do, and soon green ideas sprang to mind. Dave saw a perfect opportunity to give his furniture to his sister who had very little of her own. Within days, friends and family had the worn in furniture moved into his sisters apartment.

Good job!

Almost everything was reusable and was handed-down, except for a broken computer, and a pile of non working electronics he'd stored up in his garage. Dave saw the recycling benefits immediately. He had All Electronics Recycling pick it up for free, from his old residence, quickly and easily.

There he rediscovered, you can hand down almost anything still usable to someone in need. And, you can recycle almost anything that has no more useful value.

When should you reduce reuse recycle?

You should always aim to reduce, reuse and recycle anything you can imagine. Everyday, before you leave to run around town, go to work, or play just ask yourself these question:

• Can I reduce my consumption of natural resources by reusing something I already own?
• Can I use less fuel, water, electricity, or any other power source?
• Can anyone else ride-share with me today where I'm going?
• Can anyone else lend me the item I need to use, rather than buy a new one?
• Can anyone else I know use the items I want to dispose of?
• Can the items I'm disposing of be recycled?

If you answer yes to any of these, then just do it. You'll soon see sustainable living just takes an extra minute of thought each day.

Where should you reduce reuse recycle?

Anytime you want to upgrade something or dispose of something think of ways to go green, like my buddy Dave did, as mentioned above! The main two locations to focus on energy and environment are:

• Going green at the office.
• And, live green at home.

I encourage you to contact us in the form to the right to pick-up and recycle anything electronic from your home or office that is of no further use to you.

Why should you reduce reuse recycle?

According to the EPA, more than 180 million computers, televisions, and other electronics still find their way into landfills every year in the USA. This mounting heap of end-of-life electronics equates to hundreds of thousands of tons of lead, mercury, chromium, silver, and battery acids likely being leached into our Earth.

Below is just a few of the benefits of going green. Visit this page for more in depth coverage about why is recycling important.

• Maintenance of Natural Resources - When we reduce, reuse and recycle we do not need to deplete our Earth of her natural resources. We can simply reuse the resources we've already gathered and are using in our current goods.
• A Cleaner Environment - Many of the products we use in everyday life contain small amounts of toxic chemicals. When these items are disposed of and piled in the same condensed landfill locations the toxic matter is intensified. Therefore recycling creates heath benefits because these toxic substances will not be leaching into our land, air and water supplies, like they are when buried in a landfill.
• Reuse of Resources - When you consider how many people and how much raw material it took to build your computer, couch, entertainment center, dining room set, and countless other possessions, recycling should make complete sense.
• Energy Savings - Consider the resources it takes to mine for new raw materials and refine them. Recycling saves not only money, it reduces the pollution caused in mining, refining, and manufacturing of new products.
