Old and broken jewelry may seem harmless, but it doesn’t belong in the regular trash. When discarded, metals, coatings, and other components can break down over time and leach into the soil, contributing to environmental contamination that affects our land and water.
Most jewelry is made from a mix of materials that are not meant for landfills. Even small items—like a single earring or a broken chain—can contain metals and substances that linger in the environment for decades. Thrown away in bulk, these pieces quietly add to a much larger pollution problem.
We recycle old and broken jewelry responsibly, ensuring that valuable materials are recovered and harmful waste is kept out of the ground. By choosing to recycle instead of trashing it, you become a responsible consumer and help protect the planet—one small, meaningful action at a time.
