It is illegal to dispose of hazardous waste in the trash, though most electronics when thrown away are classified as hazardous waste according to federal and state regulations. The following provides safe and affordable recycling that assures the proper disposal of such material.

TVs and Monitors have Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs). CRTs contain more lead than you may think, and are illegal to dispose of in many states. Contact the following for your computer disposal and recycling needs.

Unparalleled electronics growth, coupled with a prosperous economy, not only has fueled demand for cutting-edge products but also has paved the way for the scrap industry's future. As part of any computer recycling service, your chosen partner should offer the following services:

• Compliance with relevant local/ state and central government/ congressional requirements and legislation

• Data Destruction for hard drives to US government/ Canadian/ Australian standards

• Asset tracking for all obsolete/ faulty computer hardware. You need to know where your computers end up.

• Non export of your used computer equipment. Recycling should not mean illegal dumping or export to developing countries. (in compliance with the Basel Action Network)

As the life expectancy of computers and televisions dwindles, the number of outdated machines is forecast to skyrocket. According to the Environmental Health Center, eight years ago the life span of a personal computer was 4 1/2 years; that slipped to 3 1/2 years in 1998 and is expected to drop to two years by 2005. Of the 20 million computers taken out of service in 1988, less than 3 million of them were recycled.

Do you really want to spend your time erasing hard drives and upgrading outdated systems? Why worry about risk management, software licenses and environmental compliance? Many Companies will pickup your equipment, provide the requested services and send you a detailed record of what was accomplished. It’s that easy.
