100% Zero Landfill
At PC Recycler, 100 percent of each electronic asset entrusted to the firm is recycled. Absolutely nothing is left to be disposed of in a landfill. All recycling is processed domestically to ensure the highest level of security for your organization.
100% Zero Export
PC Recycler does not export any electronics to developing countries and continents such as China, India and Africa.
Why Should I Recycle?
Most electronic consumers in the United States do not realize the impact of e-waste on the local and world environments; they simply view their obsolete electronics as trash. If these same individual and organizational consumers understood that recycling these devices was as simple as separating their newspapers, aluminum cans and plastic bottles for processing each week, think of how much cleaner our world could be!
Each year an estimated 750,000 of the 15 million personal computers that become obsolete will end up in landfills. One color monitor alone contains 6 ½ pounds of lead and measurable amounts of cadmium, mercury and other toxic metals. At PC Recycler, EVERY PART of your electronic assets is recycled. Each item is strategically and securely dismantled. All toxic elements are responsibly disposed of, and all remaining metals, plastics, glass and circuitry is processed.
What Items are Considered to be Electronics?
Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): televisions, monitors, computers, computer peripherals, audio and stereo equipment, VCRs, DVD players, video cameras, telephones, facsimiles, copying machines, cellular phones, wireless devices and video game consoles are primary examples of electronics.

Why Prevent Electronics from Entering a Landfill?
Some electronic device components contain constituents that, if improperly handled, could be harmful to the environment. Certain components contain measurable amounts of regulated heavy metals, including lead, silver, barium, cadmium and mercury. Many of these metals can be recovered and responsibly disposed of, based upon Environmental Protection Agency standards

How Will Recycling My Obsolete Computer and/or Electronic Equipment Make a Difference?
It is estimated that of the approximately 209,700,000 tons of solid waste generated annually in the United States, at least one percent is classified as computer and/or electronic equipment. Of this nearly 2.1 million tons, only an estimated 134,000 tons was actually recycled (based on 1998 statistics). PC Recycler wants to help change this for the good of our local and world environments

What About Donating My Electronic Assets?
Donation programs can work well if all involved parties understand the limits and liabilities associated with the transfer of equipment. Questions such as who will ensure that proprietary data is eliminated before the donation, need to be answered prior to ownership transfer. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1993, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and many others makes all companies and organizational entities legally responsible for the protection of client privacy. Failure to effectively destroy all informational data prior to the transfer of ownership leaves an organization open to corporate liability. PC Recycler’s Data Destruction process helps eliminate the worry of such a risk.

Pricing
PC Recycler understands that many companies do not have budget provisions for electronic recycling. However, due to the low residual value of old electronic equipment, the cost of removing and properly managing the hazardous materials contained in the equipment, maintaining a facility that adheres to best-in-class environmental regulations and PC Recycler’s guarantee of protection for all sensitive customer information, there is a cost.

Isn’t My Equipment Worth Something?
With the cost of new computer equipment dropping each year, your used devices are worth less and less. The resale market for used equipment in the United States is extremely low due to regular product innovation. Simply put, older machines regularly do not fit the system requirements needed to optimally run the newest software programs. Plus, machine upgrades have become less of a priority for most organizations, given that they can purchase a new machine for much less. However, PC Recycler recognizes that some equipment may retain some portion of its residual value. In these situations, PC Recycler will credit a portion of the residual value back to the customer to cover recycling costs on a consignment basis.
