In today’s digital age, electronic devices have become an integral part of our lives. While technology has evolved rapidly, it has also led to the generation of significant amounts of electronic waste, or e-waste. Alongside, the daily usage of products that fall under the category of universal waste has increased. Both these waste types, if not properly disposed of, can be detrimental to our environment and human health.

This is where Western Environmental Services comes in. Specializing in hazardous and non-hazardous waste removal, we ensure that universal waste and electronic waste are safely and responsibly recycled.

What is Universal and Electronic Waste?

Universal waste encompasses a range of discarded items, including lights, batteries, mercury-containing items, and other specific waste. Electronic waste, on the other hand, includes discarded electronic devices such as computers, televisions, cell phones, and more. Many of these items cannot be simply tossed into the garbage because they pose environmental and health hazards.
