Computer, eWaste, & Electronics Recycling in Lynwood, WA
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
E-waste, or electronic waste, is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. It can be anything from a broken cell phone to an old computer. This increasingly problematic form of waste does not biodegrade like other materials, and it often contains harmful chemicals and metals. This results in serious environmental and health risks that impact our communities and the health of our planet overall.
At R3eWaste, we work to provide safe and responsible e-waste recycling services to residents and businesses in Lynnwood, Washington. We understand that not everyone knows how to recycle their old electronics, which is a major barrier to proper recycling. With our Gig Harbor e-waste recycling services and drop-off curbside options, we make it easy and convenient for you to recycle your old electronics safely and responsibly.

What Is Your Zero Landfill Policy?
R3eWaste is proud to have a zero-landfill policy. This means that we recycle or reuse all of the materials we collect, which helps minimize environmental impact across Washington state. We accomplish this by working closely with recyclers who have the ability to recycle or reuse all of the materials in electronic waste. This allows us to recycle everything from plastic and metal to glass and circuit boards. It’s important to us that we do our part to help preserve the environment, and our zero-landfill policy is one way we can do that. We encourage everyone to recycle their e-waste responsibly and help us make the type of difference that we know is possible.
What Are the Risks of Not Recycling E-Waste?
The risks of not recycling e-waste are many and varied. Here are just a few of the most pressing:
- E-waste is full of harmful toxins and hazardous waste that can leach into the soil and water supply if not handled properly.
- Contains valuable resources like gold, silver, and copper that can be reused for new electronics if recycled properly.
- Takes up valuable space in landfills, causing them to fill up more quickly and create environmental hazards.
- Is a major contributor to global warming, and recycling can help mitigate this problem.
- E-waste is combustible, which can lead to fires if not recycled properly.
The risks of not recycling e-waste are clear, and we all must do our part to recycle responsibly. R3eWaste is here to help make that process as easy and convenient as possible. Contact us today and let’s get started.
