Electronic Recycling

Electronics waste is growing exponentially. For computers, it’s three. Recycling, or “E-cycling,” these and other electronic items is critical for preserving landfill space and for ensuring that hazardous materials used to make electronics are properly disposed.

Many electrical items such as mobile phones, computers and PDA’s contain valuable plastics and metals.  Unfortunately not every electronic recycler follows environmentally sound recycling practices; however, responsible electronics recyclers and refurbishers can now become certified by demonstrating to an accredited, independent third party that they meet available standards on responsible recycling practices.

The demand to effectively and safely recycle the obsolete electronics is pushed by the same demands our society imposes to manufacture the new, smaller, faster more efficient software.

Electronic waste is generally considered anything that plugs into a wall or accepts batteries. Many major retailers have instituted take-back programs and municipalities have created drop-off locations to help quell e-waste issues.

computer recycling or electronic recycling is the recycling or reuse of computers or other electronics.
