Why should I recycle computers and other electronics instead of throwing them in the trash?

Throwing computers and other electronic eWaste in the trash overflows landfills and may cause environmental and health damage to humans. Components and materials used to create computers and other electronics are toxic when leaked into the soil, atmosphere and water system via improper disposal.

Utilizing TechWaste Recycling’s eWaste recycling services will benefit the environment as well as protect you and your business against hefty fines or penalties for improper disposal of electronics.

Does TechWaste Recycling re-sell items that I give/sell?

We practice the concept of Reduce, Re-use, Recycle by allowing items a second life span and following a zero landfill policy.We Reduce by accepting or buying your unwanted electronics that are no longer in use or have reached the end of their life cycle. During the process of responsibly recycling, we look for any items that have a Re-use value. Do we re-sell items? Yes, we try to find additional value on items (specific to customers’ demands) for re-sale. Recycling is the final stage where electronic waste is sorted and settled to its commodity value.
