This is an excellent time to decide what your priorities will be for the next year, including how long you want to hold onto electronics and how you can responsibly dispose of old or unused ones to prevent electronic waste, or e-waste, from building up in landfills.

The world of medical science is constantly advancing at a breakneck pace, and medical electronics that may have been top of the line a few years ago are now outdated. All of this medical waste starts to pile up and it’s hard to find proper ways to dispose or recycle them. Luckily, Arrow Scrap is here to help. 

Recycling can sometimes be complicated. We’ve all been in a situation where we aren’t quite exactly sure what to do with batteries that no longer hold a charge. No one wants to actively increase their carbon footprint. That’s why Arrow Scrap is here to help with a handy list of what can and cannot be recycled!

Whether you run and office or a household or maybe both, we all have one thing in common – we all create electronic waste.
Appliances, old or outdated computers and cell phones all add up. And all too often they pile up in landfills.

There’s nothing quite like the holidays. The gifts. The lights. Egg nog. Well, maybe not egg nog but we all love the holiday season. Unfortunately, like with anything, all those celebrations, big and small, create waste. From lights and batteries to the electronics you’re about to replace, you’re probably sitting on a pile of stuff that you may or may not know can and should be recycled. We’ve got some ideas on how to keep the good spirits going by recycling.

For years, our economy worked in a linear way. Simply put, good were produced, sold, used and eventually discarded, typically ending up in a landfill.

But as demand has grown along with our reliance on plastics, metals and other materials that don’t easily degrade, landfills, well…became filled. And waste materials made their way into the ocean and created other environmental hazards. We are a consumer culture that buys more clothes and wears them for shorter and shorter durations and buy more and more appliances and technology that lasts or remains relevant for less and less time.

You go to great lengths to recycle everything from cardboard to plastic to glass, but what about old car parts? Even routine maintenance can generate waste. For instance, oil filters shouldn’t just be recycled – they must be. The law requires it. Here are some more car-related items you may not have thought to recycle – but you should!

As summer is winding down, we thought we would feature some fun activities that encourage the whole family to make sustainable choices. While we are primarily a scrap & e-waste recycling company, we are environmentally conscious and interested in ensuring all recyclable materials are utilized and disposed of properly. By getting the whole family involved, we can ensure our planet has the resources to sustain us all for generations.
