No Commercial or Business Recycling
The Eco-Rally is an electronics recycling, education and engagement initiative that partners Comcast, Metech Recycling and the City and County of Denver and local consumers to address the serious environmental concern of TVs and electronics in landfills. As residents are increasingly upgrading their televisions, computers and other electronics to enjoy advanced service offerings, they’ve relegated their older technology to storage or the trash. The U.S. EPA estimates that between 1980 and 2005, 180 million electronic devices have accumulated in storage and in 2005 alone Americans threw away an estimated 1.5 million tons of e-waste. It is important to know that electronic waste is potentially toxic and it can leach dangerous chemicals into our groundwater and pollute our air. Comcast is proud that they were the first cable company to host an electronics recycling event.
