About The Revolt Initiative

 One of the biggest problems in America is waste management. Specifically, electronic waste management is an intimidating and difficult process to learn about and understand. As an avid environmentalist and member of my school robotics team, I have seen the sheer amount of waste that is created by electronics, with things like old computers, chargers, monitors, and other items accumulating rapidly with seemingly no place to go. 

Many citizens believe that electronic waste management is expensive, difficult, and arduous, and end up abandoning their efforts to dispose of their waste in the proper manner. This is particularly harmful to the environment, as electronic waste can have toxic materials and chemicals within it that leeches out into landfills and throughout the environment and poses a direct threat to human health.  

By providing citizens with an active drop-off location for their electronic waste, ReVolt eliminates the first hurdle in proper e-waste management: finding somewhere to put the waste. ReVolt is partnering with GoldCircuit E-Cycling, who will accept the electronic waste collected at no charge and recycle it.

ReVolt is also committed to educating citizens about the dangers of e-waste, as well as teaching people about how to properly dispose of e-waste. Through a series of brochures and flyers, ReVolt will help inform the community and will help make electronics recycling more accessible.
