Hospitals produce an estimated two million tons of waste every day. The bulk of that waste is composed of things like staples, broken glass, lancets and needles, but tech waste makes its way into the pile as well. All medical communities have procedures in place to safely get rid of hazardous waste, but they don’t all have procedures for getting rid of old tech. As a result, many electronic items simply get thrown away when they reach the end of their useful life.
Electronics are everywhere in modern society. We use computers for just about everything and even carry them in our pockets. Unfortunately, this creates a lot of waste as devices reach obsolescence sooner than every before. Proper disposal is essential to avoid harmful environmental impacts. For municipalities, this should be an especially high priority.
Computers and electronics play central roles in almost every industry. In the construction industry, IT resources play as significant a role as in any other field.
