Submitted by Byanka Ramos on

According to the United Nations, the world generated more than 62 million metric tons of electronic waste in 2022. And this number is only growing every year. However, only a fraction of that waste is actually collected and recycled. Printers, copiers, scanners, and other office equipment often end up in storage rooms, garages, closets, and landfills.

If you've recently upgraded your office equipment or have an old printer that's no longer working, you may be wondering what to do with it. Can you throw it away? Should you recycle it? Does it store any information that needs to be erased first?

The answer will depend on the type of printer, its condition, and whether it contains any sensitive data.
