Rising Issues Of E-Waste

Throughout many years e-waste has been a leading cause to the decline of our environment. E-waste is extremely dangerous and the current amount of e-waste being produced poses as a constant threat to our bodies and environment in significant ways. A research of e-waste in 2025 concluded that e-waste has reached over 60 million metric tons globally. More importantly, studies have shown that households own an average of 74 electronic items (excluding lights), with 9 in storage but working, and 4 in storage and broken. If these households recycles their e-waste, significant changes can be seen once every household contributes to this matter.

How will we contribute? 

Our Branch will utilize our school clubs such as NHS, CSF, and Key Club to organize battery drives and get students involved in volunteering to maximize the battery collection. We will also attempt to organize a community event where e-waste of all kind will be collected and then brought for recycling. Ultimately, our branch's goal is to be able to contribute to help TAE thrive so we can all collectively make the environment safer.

Where Are We?

One of the many branches of TAE (Teens Against E-Waste) is our Pacifica High Branch. We are located in Garden Grove, California. We have the goal to raise awareness for the effects of e-waste and we aim to assist TAE in what they do to protect our environment by recycling e-waste.
