When we look down at our cellphone or laptop, we probably see something made of black or white metal and plastic. However, what’s inside these and other computers and electronics is very different.  Gold, silver and platinum: They sound like they belong in a jewelry box, but your cellphone couldn’t work without these and other metals.   In fact, these precious metals, as well as palladium, copper, tin and zinc can actually be recovered from old used mobile phones and used to make jewelry! Some of these recovered components are used in the manufacture of new electronics as well.  Did you know you can use Recycling New York for NYC electronics recycling, data destruction and business liquidation services.

According to the Mother Nature Network:

“One million recycled cellphones will yield nearly $2 million in gold and more than $370,000 in silver” along with “5,274 pounds of copper and 33 pounds of palladium.”

Unfortunately, millions of old cellphones are discarded without being recycled first. The same is true of desktop and laptop computers. An old desktop computer sitting in a basement or spare office collecting dust can contain up to five pounds of copper.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, “One metric ton of circuit boards has 40 to 800 times the amount of gold as one metric ton of ore.”

Again, tons of old unwanted computers, printers and other office equipment are thrown into landfills every year. Not only does this in and of itself cause environmental damage when these toxins leech into the surrounding ground and water supply, but it also means that more environmentally destructive mining has to be done to bring a fresh supply of metals into the booming electronics marketplace.  If your company in the New York or New Jersey area is holding on to unwanted electronics and computers because you don’t know how to get rid of them, now is the time to call Recycling New York, Inc.  Recycling New York offers NYC electronics recycling services to help you get properly get rid of e-waste.
