Every year, Singapore discards tens of thousands of tonnes of electronic devices. That’s a massive amount of potential resources—and environmental risk—if not handled properly. Electronic recycling is more than just a buzzword; it’s a critical process that turns obsolete gadgets into valuable materials while protecting our planet. At SAMS, we’re passionate about making electronic recycling efficient, secure, and accessible for everyone.
Why Electronic Recycling Matters
Electronic devices contain precious metals like gold, silver, and copper. But they also harbor hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. When electronics are dumped in landfills, these toxins can leach into the soil and water, causing long-term environmental damage.
That’s why electronic recycling is essential. It ensures that valuable materials are recovered and reused, reducing the need for mining and conserving natural resources. Plus, it prevents harmful chemicals from polluting our environment.
How to Know Where to Dispose of Electronics Responsibly
Wondering where to dispose of electronics? Singapore has made it easier than ever:
- E waste collection points are conveniently located at malls, community centers, and residential estates.
- Retailers of electronic products offer take-back schemes for old devices.
- Specialized companies like SAMS provide secure and certified electronic waste recycling services tailored for both individuals and businesses.
