STAPLES Wants Your Recyclable Technology!

Do right by the planet and recycle your electronics at STAPLES!

Mercury, lead, cadmium and lithium can all cause major environmental damage and major health related issues for humans.  Did you know that these elements are found in the electronic devices that we use every day like computers, printers, phones, and many other devices that run on batteries or have screens?  That's why many towns treat these devices as hazardous waste and charge you extra money to handle their disposal!
