GreenCitizen has calculated the greenhouse gas emissions that are prevented when electronics are recycled instead of discarded in a landfill by using the EPA’s WARM Calculator and the total weight of electronics we’ve recycled. The numbers below show how much emissions GreenCitizen has mitigated by recycling electronics, and what the emissions are equivalent to in terms of trees planted, cars taken off the road and gallons of gasoline not burned.
