A term used to describe the practice of recycling computers, computer components
and other electronics through reusing or donating them until the end of their
lifecycle. E-cycling encourages people to reduce, reuse and recycle rather than
dispose of these items prematurely when upgrading to newer products. At the end
of the electronics' life, people are then encouraged to dispose of the item at
an electronics recycler to keep the electronics out of landfills and reduce the
amount of electronic waste. May also be written as eCycle or ecycle.
E-cycling begins with you Recycling, or "E-cycling," electronic items is critical for preserving landfill space and for ensuring that hazardous materials used to make electronics are properly disposed.
