Recycling computer equipment is a huge contributor to having a healthier environment because they are Hazardous Waste! With Green Computer Recycle every part gets reused, or recycled, resulting in less pollution. The more we recycle the less need for newly manufactured components which results in less pollution. Recycling disrupts the pollution chain by reducing manufacturing plant’s emissions. 

Computer components are highly toxic and need to be disposed of properly because it helps the environment. Shipping computers for disposal to African nations in the 1990s and early 2000s was a disaster! They shipped salvage computers to poor nations that would except our hazardous waste. The people there would burn them because they wanted to get to the 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.

The invention of computer technology came with a price to our environment because their components are hazardous waste. It’s a horrible idea to throw computers in the trash because they cause pollution. Disposal of computer equipment must be handled differently than trash because the materials they’re manufactured of are too hazardous for our planet.

Old computer equipment has value, certainly not relative to the original cost, but still has some value. So, most people don’t know that they can trade their old computer equipment for “FREE” data removal. We also offer on-site data removal for an even greater security measure because some companies require it.
