Here at the Junk Jeannie, we care about the world we live in and what we leave behind for our kids. Global warming is real, and it’s here to stay. On Jan 6th, 2007, it was 71 degrees. We drink bottled water because tap and ground water are so polluted, and the very air we breathe will kill us. Let’s throw away our trash, not our kids' futures.

RETHINK IT… 
Electronic waste is unwanted computers, monitors, televisions, audio equipment, printers, and other home electronic devices. Technological advances for all electronic equipment -- particularly computers -- quickly render them obsolete. Only about 14% are reused or recycled, while most are disposed of or remain in storage. The average life span of a personal computer is currently about 2-3 years and falling. Electronics that break often are not repaired due to the relatively low cost of replacement equipment.

Why are discarded electronics potentially harmful?
Electronic equipment contains metals and other materials that can become hazardous to human health and the environment if they are not properly managed. Such materals are:

Cadmium
The largest source of cadmium in municipal waste is rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCD) batteries, commonly found in laptop computers.

Lead
Monitors and televisions contain a cathode ray tube (CRT) that contains leaded glass weighing about 4 to 5 pounds.

Mercury
The leading source of mercury in municipal waste is from electronic equipment. Additionally, discarded electronic equipment is made with valuable resources such as precious metals, engineered plastics, glass and other materials. When equipment is discarded, these expensive resources cannot be recovered and additional pollution will be generated to manufacture new products.
