E-Waste Recycling Event: St Anselm Church, 356 82nd St
Welcome to the E-Waste Recycling Event organized by Chirag International in collaboration with St Anselm Church, located at 356 82nd St, Bay Ridge. We are committed to promoting environmental sustainability and responsible e-waste disposal. Join us in this important effort to safeguard our planet's resources and contribute to a cleaner future!
Why Participate in the E-Waste Recycling Event?
Electronic waste, commonly referred to as e-waste, comprises discarded electronic devices that could harm the environment if improperly disposed of. With the rapid technological advancements, our society generates a substantial amount of e-waste. Unfortunately, a significant portion of e-waste ends up in landfills or gets dumped illegally, posing serious threats to our environment and health.
By participating in our E-Waste Recycling Event, you are taking an active step towards reducing e-waste pollution. We provide a safe and responsible solution for disposing of your old and unwanted electronic devices. Not only will you contribute to environmental preservation, but you will also support the development of sustainable practices in our community.

Benefits of Recycling E-Waste Correctly
Properly recycling your e-waste plays a vital role in protecting the environment and conserving valuable resources. Here are some key benefits:
Environmental Protection
Electronic devices often contain hazardous materials such as heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium) and harmful chemicals (chlorofluorocarbons, flame retardants) that can leach into the environment if not managed properly. By recycling e-waste, we prevent these toxic substances from contaminating our soil, air, and water sources, reducing negative impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Resource Conservation
Electronic devices consist of valuable resources, including metals (gold, silver, copper) and rare minerals (coltan, palladium) that can be recovered through recycling. By recycling e-waste, we contribute to conserving these resources and reducing the need for new raw material extraction. This helps conserve energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with mining and manufacturing processes.
Job Creation and Economic Benefits
The e-waste recycling industry creates employment opportunities and contributes to the local economy. By supporting responsible e-waste recycling initiatives, you directly contribute to job creation and economic growth in our community.
