Going Paperless: Is it Time to Buy a Tablet?

Don't forget to eCycle

Tablets represent a great way for an office to go paperless. But remember, it is not environmentally friendly to simply throw out old electronics either. Not only are there are recoverable elements such as gold, silver and copper within most electronics, there are environmentally damaging elements inside as well. So when it’s time to upgrade, consider the following:

  • Give it to a friend if it’s still in working order
  • Donate it to a school or charity. Cell phones can be reconditioned and sent to developing countries.
  • If the device is broken or unusable, find a recycling point and drop it off there. Nearly all electronics stores offer recycling stations, as do neighborhood recycling centers.
