What Happens to Recycled Electronics?

February 24, 2017

While your old electronic items may seem like they are no longer useful, these devices are actually very valuable after they have been processed at the recycling center. In this video from Recycle Now, you will learn about what happens to electronics after they are sent to a recycling center. A facility that specializes in scrap metal recycling in Atlanta will process your recycled electronics with the utmost care.

Once your electronics have been placed in the recycling bin, they will be sent to a processing plant to be carefully recycled. In order to recycle electronic waste, a plant must first shred the old electronics. The shredded material is then carefully processed by the recycling center. Pieces of metal, plastic, and glass are then sorted and transformed into brand new items.
