In the state of California, it is illegal to dispose of e-waste. According to TheWorldCounts.com, approximately 40 million tons of e-waste is generated every year. Only 12.5% of that waste is recycled. In other words, it's like throwing away 800 laptops every second!

Nothing good comes out of disposing of e-waste in landfills; incineration of these items leads to pollution on the land that we live on, in the water that we drink from, and in the very air that we breathe.

Our organization seeks to increase the recycling percentage and decrease the harmful effects to the environment by collecting e-waste. TAE launched the One Million Batteries (1MB) campaign and the WEEEcycle (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Recycling) campaign to make a greater impact and spread awareness of the cause.
