FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions and Service Details
E-waste includes any retired electronic equipment that no longer serves a functional purpose. This encompasses obsolete servers, desktop computers, laptops, mobile devices, monitors, printers, and networking hardware.
Learn more about the electronic devices we recycle
Improper disposal of electronics releases toxic chemicals into the soil and water supply, leading to permanent damage from leachates. In fact, e-waste only makes up 2% of waste in landfills, but accounts for 70% of all toxic heavy metals found in them. Professional recycling ensures safe handling, strict compliance with state and federal environmental laws, and the ethical recovery of valuable global resources. Additionally, it ensures all of your data storage devices will be destroyed in strict compliance with the highest data protection standards, ensuring peace-of-mind for you and your team.
