E-CycleWise Helps Environment by Collecting Old Electronics

Recycling old electronic equipment can be a hassle. And the toxic materials in those devices can be incredibly harmful to the environment.
That’s why mother-daughter team Rachel Treasure and Eva Metcalfe started their business, E-CycleWise. The business takes people’s unwanted or damaged electronic devices and disposes of them in a way that won’t harm the environment. Metcalfe told The Reflector:
“It’s incredible how many people just throw these things away. Electronic devices are filled with toxic materials. When you throw them away, the mercury and the lead … it leaches into the groundwater. And these things take up a lot of space at the landfill.”
