Computers and related equipment are considered to be hazardous waste. At Green Computer Recycle every part will be reused or recycled. Every ton of electronics recycled is one less ton of toxic waste penetrating the soil and water. Green computer recycling disrupts the pollution chain by reducing a manufacturing plant’s emissions because it’s one less thing being manufactured when computers are recycled. 

In the 1990s and 2000s computers were disposed of in African nations and it was a disaster! Computers were shipped to poor countries that accepted hazardous waste. The people in these African nations were getting exposed to toxic waste because they would burn them to get the precious minerals that don’t burn. The burning of computers caused an increase in sickness, cancer, breathing illnesses, and more. Recycling computer equipment is the answer to the problem because it’s so healthy for all of us.

We are paying the price for computer technology because its components are too hazardous for our environment. It’s a horrible idea to throw computers in the trash because they’re incredibly toxic. Computers and electronics are hazardous waste our planet would do better without. Green Computer Recycle is a good solution for a toxic waste problem because it’s free. To help promote recycling we offer on-site data removal because some companies don’t allow computers to leave the premises with hard drives intact without being wiped before recycling.
