Recycling Your Microwave Properly

When it comes to handling ITAD ewaste recycling services, it’s important to make sure you have standard procedures when it comes to managing waste. Electronic devices such as computers or printers are common and you’re probably more likely to know how to properly dispose of these devices. However, what about other forms of electronic waste?

When a microwave ends up at a recycling center, you can be assured that all materials that can be recycled will be recycled and know that you or your company is doing its part to help eliminate toxic waste from ending up in landfills.
