Then do something about it!


In previous posts, I think we've pretty much established that e-waste has become a big problem all over the world, so who's doing something about it?
eWaste Recycling Solutions, located in Maine, make a virtue of necessity.
Up to 30 times a year, they collect enormous loads of old and-or broken electronic equipment, which then are demanufactered down to glass, plastic, metal, etc. at a 10,000-square-foot facility. A lot of these parts can then be sold to other bussinesses at a profit.
Shane Plumadore, one of the workers, said the work was fun to him, being able to check out some really old equipment. "Plus it's better here than being in a ditch or on the side of a road."
The company has existed for almost 5 years, and is already looking to expand.
