Learn More About Electronics Recycling
TGM has partnered with several companies that specialize in breaking down electronics safely for both humans and the environment. Materials are sorted into metals and plastics and recycled in the appropriate recycling stream.
TGM recycles electronics for households, multi-family buildings, offices and businesses, schools, institutions, and government agencies.
In the US, each person throws away an average of 50 pounds of electronics every year. In Canada, electronic waste has nearly tripled in the last four years, according to a study by Statistics Canada. Canadian households report that about 17% of old electronics are collecting dust at home. There is a lot of work to do.
