The conditions of the overseas recycling operations described in this article underscore the importance of safe and responsible electronics recycling. Stories like this are not uncommon, which is why we here at S.A.V.E. ensure that the e-waste that we collect for recycling is done with every precaution taken to protect workers and the environment. We work with Tatooine Electronics, out of Billings, MT and Cheyenne, WY each fall to provide an opportunity for electronics recycling in Helena. Their website gives a detailed descriptions about what happens to your electronics when you recycle with Tatooine.
