The Surprising Truth About Legally Disposing of Electronics

Many Americans are unaware that throwing electronics in the regular trash is illegal in some states. However, TikToker Love of Earth Co. has shared an easy solution for recycling electronics through Redwood Materials, a partnership between Panasonic and an e-waste recycler. By creating a profile on Redwood Materials' website, users can mail their electronics and accessories for responsible disposal. This process helps keep e-waste out of landfills, protects the environment, and reduces the need for costly mining. Other companies, such as Best Buy, also offer recycling and trade-in options for used electronics.
