HOW TO RECYCLE A CAMERA

The demand for cameras is slowly declining with the increase of smartphones. Many consumers simply don’t need a separate camera if they can snap a shot and email it within minutes through their smartphone. Therefore, cameras are a popular item that people sell, give away or even throw away. There is a fourth, better option – recycling.

The Benefits of Recycling your Camera

Camera Recycling ImageCamera recycling conserves natural resources while simultaneously reducing landfill waste. The materials, such as plastic, metals and precious metals, can be recovered and reused. This reduces the environmental impact and energy demands that result from manufacturing cameras. The precious metals used in making new camera circuit boards, such as gold, copper and mercury, are mined and manufactured in harmful ways to the environment, often in poor conditions in third world countries. Finally, not manufacturing new cameras reduces commercial transportation coast, which in turn saves oil and gas.

Recycling Cameras also reduces the electronic waste that is exported to foreign countries. The EPA estimates that 50 to 80 percent of recycled electronics are sent to third world countries. This unfortunately creates toxic wastelands where impoverished people work long hours to salvage the materials in dangerous and unhealthy conditions.

The Recyclable Materials in Cameras

Most of the materials used to make cameras can be recovered and recycled. This includes metals and plastics. Camera circuit boards contain precious metals such as gold, silver and palladium. All circuit boards contain base metals such as tin, lead, iron, zinc, copper, nickel and aluminum. Keep in mind that our customers can often get paid for certain valuable metals and materials found in the equipment they recycle.

The Harmful Materials in Cameras

Camera circuit boards contain led and mercury, both which have negative effects on the environment, humans, and the ecosystem. They also contain small amount of hazardous elements such as barium and beryllium. When these materials are dumped in a landfill, they contaminate the soil and water. Responsibly recycling your camera protects your community and the environment.
