Many people don’t realize that electronics are made of valuable resources such as precious metals, plastics and glass. Many of these materials require energy to manufacture. Electronic equipment that gets thrown away also throws out these valuable resources and generates more pollution in order to manufacture new products.
Certain electronics such as monitors and circuit boards contain toxic substances like lead, mercury, and chromium. When these heavy metals get dumped into the solid waste stream it becomes a concern with state and local officials since they pose an environmental risk. Electronic recycling is a great solution.
With Vintage Tech Recyclers electronic recycling program, nearly 60% of all electronics can be reused and the other 40% get recycled back to their original raw state.
Electronic products such as photocopiers, fax machines, and cell phones are just a few of the many products that we accept. These items contain parts that can be refurbished and reused with little effort. Help the environment today and contact us regarding your used electronics.
