It sounds crazy, but scientists are reporting that they’ve created “biodegradable electronics.”  This could eliminate the need for proper NYC electronics disposal.

According to one report, these researchers, they’ve “succeeded in creating tiny medical devices sealed in silk cocoons that did the work they were designed for, then dissolved in the bodies of lab mice. It’s an early step in a technology that may hold promise, not only for medicine, but also for disposal of electronic waste.”

The objects are said to look like very small translucent computer chips. Similar items already exist, to “dispense drugs or provide electrical stimulation,” but they must be removed surgically after their job is done.

Some are looking to the future and wondering if the same technology could one day be used in the manufacture of consumer devices like cell phones and computers.   As it stands, e-waste (that is, discarded computers, peripherals, telephone technology and other electronics) make up millions of tons of waste, much of it highly toxic unless proper NYC electronics disposal is performed. Unfortunately, much of it is not.

While “eating” your unwanted cellphone one day instead of tossing it in the trash, it is possible that this technology could eventually go into the manufacture of electronics and computers that would biodegrade in landfills instead of leeching toxic chemicals into them, like they currently do.  The good news is, you don’t have to wait for that day to come if you’re interested in “being green” and disposing of your e-scrap safely and quickly: just contact us.

We can come to your New Jersey or New York City business and perform NYC electronics disposal. We do this at no charge!  Then we take your old “stuff” and recycle or refurbish it at our state of the art facility. We may be able to donate this equipment to a local non-profit if you wish.

Everyone’s talking about the new iPhone 5. Fans are excited about the latest offering from Apple, while others are criticizing its features.  Every release of a new computerized electronic “gadget” like the iPhone raises an issue fewer people are discussing: what’s the most environmentally friendly and business savvy way to get rid of your old cell phones?  Have you considered New York City electronics recycling?

According to one company CEO, “Nearly 2.5 million tons of electronics were discarded just in the U.S. in 2010, creating an incredible windfall of lithium, gold, neodymium, rare earths and other valuable materials headed for the dump. We plan to send it to the bank instead.”  Among that e-waste will one day be the 240 million iPhones Apple has sold since the product launched in 2007. That’s a lot of potential toxic waste, not to mention the loss of valuable metals and other materials.

Many companies  still don’t realize that we can help with New York City electronics recycling, and we are willing to help your employees transition to the new iPhone.  Whether you have a bunch of old cell phones to get rid of, or unused computers, printers, faxes and other office equipment sitting around gathering dust, call Recycling New York, Inc.   Your unwanted e-waste will be picked up at no charge to you and taken for recycling and refurbishing to our state of the art facility.

Best of all, if we think we can sell your e-waste through our network of resellers, we will make you an offer. Companies don’t usually get paid to recycle, but at Recycling New York, Inc., that’s our policy!
