Recycling cables: everyone wins

Recycling cables: 

Israel produces millions of tones of waste annually, a substantial portion of which is electronic waste, which comprises a variety of cables among other things.

This enormous volume poses numerous risks to us, including severe harm to the environment and to people.

What are we doing now? To begin with, hazardous cables and regular debris are separated from electronic waste. Why is it crucial to separate and recycle cables? You will understand after reading the next paragraphs.

Nearly 20% of the rubbish that people discard is recyclable. You seriously hurt the environment and yourself when you discard such material, especially wires, in an ordinary trash can:

• Environmental damage: When the unseparated cables are burned, they release hazardous chemicals into the atmosphere that have an irreversible negative impact on both our environment and our health. Some of these toxins wind up in our drinking water.

• Economic loss: Because these cables are not recycled, there is a decreasing supply on the market and a rising demand. What results from this? Of course, prices increase.

Therefore, if the cost of computers, televisions, video game consoles, and the dozens of other devices that also include cables continues to grow, don't be shocked.

We will also discuss the legal requirements for recycling cables and electronic garbage, which provide everyone and every business the go-ahead to take whatever necessary steps to prevent improper disposal of such material.

Did you simply discard the cords in that manner? For this, you could face severe penalties and possibly criminal accusations.

How are cables disposed of?

Private individuals may independently dispose of cables, in particular, and electronic waste in general, in modest quantities, in bins placed around the city by the local government for recycling rubbish.

But if you own a factory, warehouse, garage, shop, or any other type of business that generates a lot of cable debris, it would be best for you to get in touch with a reputable recycling business.

It's crucial that you don't undervalue the issue because the state is very tough about punishing organizations and firms that don't follow all electronic trash recycling procedures.

When a reputable company affiliated with the Ministry of Environmental Protection recycles cables and other electronic waste, the process starts with the collection of the waste from your company and transportation to sorting facilities where it is disassembled and sorted into recyclable and non-recyclable materials.

Depending on how much electronic waste and how many cords you use, you can speak with the recycling company on a regular basis or only sometimes.

The service also includes evacuations at any time period you specify and the placement of designated dumpsters on your property.

You shouldn't have to pay for the contract with the recycling business, and in some circumstances you might even get paid for the waste.
