GNG partnered with eWaste/ePlanet to launch an annual recycling event for consumer electronics. eWaste/eplanet makes it their mission to provide a safe and easy solution for consumers to dispose of their unwanted electronics. While electronics waste (e-waste) only accounts for roughly 2% of the trash in the United States, it compromises 70% of the toxic waste we produce. Our yearly earth day drive helps prevent more e-waste from going to landfills, and gives consumers an easy option to get rid of their unwanted electronics.
