The E-Waste Impact of Tablet Programs In Schools

Revenue Recovery and Recycling are Essential to Device Management Policies

By 2016, the tablet to student ratio is estimated to reach 1:1. This movement is predicted to drastically improve education, but without an end-of-life management plan in place, it could cause catastrophic harm to the environment.

There are currently 55.2 million students enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade in the United States. If each student is given one device and it is replaced every three years, each student will use 4.3 devices during their 13-year education. In all, that’s 237.5 million devices being utilized by students.

Unfortunately, 60% of school technology coordinators don’t have an end-of-life management plan, according to FundingFactory. Without a plan, these devices will either collect dust in a closet or be thrown into a landfill. The result is a loss of potential revenue and an abundance of pollution in the environment.

Educational institutions that don’t sell their devices to a responsible recycler are forfeiting a huge opportunity to put money back into their budgets. If only one device per student was recycled, schools could recover approximately $331 million.

In addition to the monetary incentive, it’s necessary to recycle mobile devices in order to protect the environment and future generations. Cell phones and tablets contain toxic metals including lead, mercury and cadmium. These toxins can leak into the groundwater and cause detrimental damage to the environment if they are not properly recycled.

Meeting the predicted surge of devices in the education sector with a solid end-of-life management plan is essential to protecting the environment. To ensure you recoup the maximum value of your mobile devices and that your end-of-life devices are not sent to a landfill, develop a plan that includes partnering with an e-Stewards recycler. The e-Stewards certification is the most stringent and globally recognized standard for electronic recyclers.

e-Cycle to Donate $1 to JDRF for Every Mobile Phone Recycled in Celebration of America Recycles Day and American Diabetes Month

Mobile phone buyback and recycling company encourages businesses to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation by recycling their used mobile devices responsibly in November

Wireless mobile buyback and recycling company e-Cycle LLC has launched an “e-Cycle for Type 1 Diabetes” campaign that will donate $1 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) for every mobile phone the company purchases or recycles from Nov. 14 through the 23.

According to e-Cycle CEO, Chris Irion, the goal of the promotion is to help raise awareness and support for two causes that are close to his heart—America Recycles Day (Nov. 15) and American Diabetes Month (November). Irion said that he hopes the campaign will encourage organizations to recycle their used mobile devices responsibly in November and also help support a critical research fund dedicated to finding a cure for the debilitating disease.

“As a father of a child suffering with Type 1 Diabetes, I know first hand the difficult challenges that families face in fighting a deadly and life-changing disease, while also trying to maintain a normal and healthy family life,” Irion said. “e-Cycle was founded on three principals: a love of technology, environmental protection, and charitable giving. Our ‘e-Cycle for Type 1 Diabetes’ promotion touches all three of our passions and I hope businesses will join us in our cause.”

How the “e-Cycle for Type 1 Diabetes” promotion works

1.    Businesses and organizations collect their used mobile devices and mail them to e-Cycle using the company’s pre-paid FedEx shipping labels.  Go to www.e-Cycle.com and click on the “Contact Us” link in the upper right-hand section of the homepage, fill out the form and request a label in the “Questions or Comments” field.

2.    e-Cycle will purchase any devices that are reusable and still have market value and recycle all other phones and accessories at no-charge. Companies can elect to have the check written back to them or as a charitable contribution directly to the JDRF. All sensitive data is completely removed from the devices.

3.    e-Cycle will donate $1 for every mobile phone that the company receives from Nov. 14 through 23, 2011.

4.    All mobile devices and accessories that cannot be reused are shredded on site and sent to an EPA-registered metals refinery where the precious materials are reclaimed for reuse in the production of new products.

5 Reasons to Recycle Your Old AT&T iPhone | e-Cycle

Cell phone technology continues to improve each and every day, enticing consumers to dump old models and nab the latest innovations. The mad dash to grab the latest version of a smartphone leaves your old models in the dust, but what exactly do you do with them?

Take your iPhone for instance. When you first get it, you love its new features, how fast it is, and all the upgrades over your previous version. But, eventually, the commercials for the next smartphone will sprout up (such as the introduction of phones with 4G capabilities), leaving you pining for the next big thing.

It’s the cycle we go through with just about every product these days, and that’s perfectly fine. The real key here is determining what to do with that old mobile phone. Cell phone recycling comes with a number of benefits that you should consider, including ones that will bring you even closer to that coveted new iPhone.

Here are five reasons that you should recycle your iPhone:

1) Cash – We certainly understand how important having some extra money can be. Mobile phone recycling with e-Cycle allows you to make some cash that can go towards the new iPhone or smartphone that you’ve had your eye on.

2) Environmental Benefits – When you recycle your phone with e-Cycle, you can rest assured knowing that we are committed to making a major impact on the environment. We hope that you’ll love keeping electronic waste out of landfills and salvaging the metal for reuse as much as we do.

3) Switching to Verizon – It has been announced that there will finally be a Verizon version of the iPhone, set to be released in early 2011. For those of you looking to make the switch to this network, it’s a great reason to recycle your AT&T iPhone.

4) Reducing Clutter – We’ve talked about how mobile phone recycling reduces clutter, and you wouldn’t want your old iPhone to feel hurt and neglected when that new one arrives, would you?

5) Data Protection – Old phones that were simply dumped or recycled mobile phones that were done so improperly still contain data that can be accessed by anybody. To ensure the protection of your data, utilize e-Cycle’s industry-leading thorough and secure data-clearing process.

There you have it – five reasons to recycle your old AT&T iPhone with e-Cycle. Whether it’s to make extra money, eventually switch to the Verizon iPhone, or any other reason that you might have, be sure to keep e-Cycle in mind.
