ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

TerraCycle Upcycles Old Electronics Into Indestructible Trash Can

TerraCycle Include USA
Electronic waste is the fastest growing waste in the United States.  Almost 2.5 million tons end up in landfills each year. When electronics are not properly disposed of, they can leak harmful toxins into the environment. TerraCycle upcycles a wide range of different non-recyclable items, including electronics, into new products.  The TerraCycle Crushed Electronics Trash Can is one such item.  Each trash can saves a few old electronic such as fax machines, printers and computers, from reaching a landfill.  This one of a kind trash can is painted in shades of green by artists in inner-city Trenton, New Jersey.  It is nearly indestructible.  Priced under $10, this useful and eco-friendly trash can makes for a practical green gift.
