Electronics in the household account for a considerable portion of the home’s energy consumption.

ENERGY STAR qualified televisions, VCRs, TV/VCR combinations and DVD or audio products will consume up to 75 percent less electricity than conventional products when they are turned off. This could add up to significant savings in electricity and greenhouse gas emissions if everyone bought an ENERGY STAR labeled consumer electronic product.

 

Computers and monitors contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. These toxins can leach into the land over time, impacting nearby communities and the environment. Help keep these toxins out of our landfills by donating your older computer to Computers for Schools, or by taking it to one of the following locations for recycling:
