Tech Recycling for the Medical Community
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.
