E-Waste Recycling & Data Destruction

Over the past two decades, electronics recycling has emerged as a pressing concern. With our increasing reliance on cell phones, computers, tablets, and various other consumer electronics, the safe disposal of these devices has become increasingly crucial.

The traditional method of trash disposal—sending items to the landfill—is no longer a viable option and is, in fact, illegal in Michigan. Fortunately, there are alternative solutions. Discover the latest regulations and laws governing Detroit electronics recycling, the potential penalties for non-compliance, and how Proshred® can assist you in safely disposing of these items.

While some may perceive the necessity of electronic recycling as an inconvenience, the reality is that this law serves crucial environmental purposes. Electronics contain heavy metals, toxic materials, and chemicals such as cadmium, mercury, lead, and bromine, which pose significant environmental and health risks to surrounding communities. eMedia recycling is not merely a gesture of goodwill; it's imperative for the preservation of our environment and even our well-being.

The current Michigan Electronics Recycling Act makes it illegal to dispose of electronics in landfills.

The Act imposes severe and harsh penalties for those who fail to abide by the rules for proper disposal and recycling of electronics, with fines ranging from $7,000 to tens of thousands of dollars based on the individual violation and length of the violation (415 ICLS 150/80 Sec. 80. Penalties). This makes it essential for business owners in Michigan to take the right steps for proper Detroit electronics recycling.
