Radiowell, a leading provider of two-way radio equipment, has launched a national ad campaign to raise awareness about the importance of properly recycling consumer-owned two-way radios. These devices, if improperly disposed of, can leach harmful chemicals into the environment, posing risks to human health and the ecosystem. Radiowell emphasizes the legal consequences for commercial users who fail to recycle their equipment and urges consumers to participate in e-waste drop-off events or recycle bins at electronics stores. The company also highlights the environmental benefits of its reforestation partnership, which has planted trees in 43 states and 150 national forests.
