Wondering why it’s important to recycle your electronics? Electronics contain hazardous waste that can be released into the air, soil and water and cause health and environmental risks. Taking unwanted electronics to a responsible recycler ensures people and the environment stay healthy.
askHRgreen.org is proud to partner with Synergy Recycling for these events. Synergy Recycling is a certified electronics recycler under R2/RIOS, and holds 3rd party certifications for quality (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001) and employee health and safety (OHSAS 18001). Here in Hampton Roads, Synergy Recycling has partnered with The Arc of the Virginia Peninsula. The Arc launched its electronics recycling program in 2002, and its team disassembles a wide array of equipment collected throughout the community. The Arc and Synergy’s partnership offers a certified process for disposing of electronics responsibly while creating jobs for people with disabilities.
