If your New York or New Jersey business has lots of old computers, broken printers and other obsolete equipment – otherwise known as “e-waste” — cluttering up your office or storage space, you aren’t alone.

According to Greenpeace and the EPA, “as much as three-quarters of the computers sold in the United States are stockpiled in garages in closets.”

These experts add, “When thrown away, they end up in landfills or incinerators or, more recently, are exported to Asia.”

Millions of tons of e-waste end up in landfills every year. Computers and similar types of business and office equipment contain hazardous materials that eventually leach into the surrounding land and ground water. This in turn endangers the safety of our food supply and overall health.

As well, electronic equipment can also contain valuable metals and minerals like copper, gold and nickel; if we simply drop off our old computers at the dump without removing these metals first, we’re letting a significant amount of precious resources go to waste.

Sometimes e-waste is incinerated instead. Unfortunately, this process releases these same toxic substances into the air. Chemicals like mercury, lead and other toxins then find their way into the food chain.

One “solution” to the growing volume of e-waste has been to export it to Asia, India or other countries for refurbishing. The trouble is, employees in these overseas recycling plants often work in unsafe conditions and receive poor compensation. Furthermore, international laws regarding landfills and incineration are lax.

The best solution to the e-waste problem is domestic recycling, here in the USA. We are now used to recycling paper and plastics, but most of us are only now becoming used to the idea of recycling old unwanted electronics, computer equipment, appliances and similar items.

Luckily, Recycling New York, Inc. is here to make it easy and even lucrative for your New Jersey or NYC company to recycle its computers, printers, telephone equipment and much more.

Contact us to learn how easy it is for your New York or New Jersey business to finally unload those used computers and so much more – and in some cases, even get money for them!

Getting a new computer or smart phone is always exciting, but we rarely wonder what happens to our old gadgets after we discard them.  Were you even aware of New York computer recycling or NYC electronic recycling?

The fact is, 50 million metric tons of used electronics and computer equipment — also known as “e-waste” – is generated around the world every year, as old items are replaced with the newest models.

Incredibly, over 98% of this e-waste comes from items we don’t normally think of as computers. That’s because today, millions of consumer goods like major and small “smart” appliances also come with microprocessors.

The bad news is, these microprocessors and other computer components contain “toxic substances such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, selenium, and hexavalent chromium.” When we haphazardly throw away all this equipment, these dangerous chemicals find their way into the surrounding soil and water, which in turn pollutes farmland and therefore, our food supply.  This is why it’s so important to know about New York computer recycling.

However, there’s good news too: other computer components are also valuable and highly desirable. According to one source, “a personal computer may contain up to four grammes of gold and other valuable materials that can be recovered at a profit.”

It’s easy to see that for all these reasons, old computers, office peripherals, electronic equipment and more need to be carefully recycled, just like we regularly recycle paper and plastics.

Fortunately, Recycling New York, Inc. is dedicated to ensuring that all dangerous or valuable components are retrieved from old computers, appliances and more.

DID YOU KNOW…?

• In the United States, the EPA estimates that 2.4 million tons of used computers, keyboards and other peripherals, consumer electronics and appliances are improperly discarded every year. That comes out to approximately 100,000 computers and almost a half-million mobile phones being thrown away every day!  Recycling New York Inc. offers a simple solution to this problem!  We specialize in NYC electronics recycling, New York computer recycling, data destruction and business liquidation services.

• Around the world, people toss out between 20 and 50 million tons of out of date “gadgets” like cell phones, laptops, printers, servers, copies, televisions and other electronics. The bad news: over 80% of these items are NOT recycled, even though they could be.

• E-waste makes up up only 2% of the world’s trash, but accounts for 70% of the dangerous heavy metals that then make their way from landfills into drinking water and farmland.

• Old cathode ray tube TVs and computer monitors were made with between four and seven pounds of lead! More modern flat panel displays, on the other hand, contain mercury. In both cases, these toxic elements should be disposed of correctly rather than just left in the town dump.

• Old computers are a gold mine – literally! These discarded computers and electronic equipment also contain stores of gold, silver and other precious metals “that are 40 to 50 times richer” than that contained in existing mines. However, only 15% of these valuable elements are recovered from this e-waste before it is discarded.

• Believe it or not, 98% of today’s e-waste comes from items we don’t normally think of as computers. That’s because today, millions of consumer goods like major and small “smart” appliances also come with microprocessors, just like laptops and desktop computers. These appliances can be recycled safely as well, but often are not.

• Fortunately, proper recycling of old electronics, computers, peripherals and other office equipment (or e-waste) will go from 18% in 2012 to over 50% in 2025, thanks to improved public awareness of proper disposal methods.  If you need services for NYC electronics recycling, just call us!

• According to the EPA, between 2007 and 2008, “total volumes of municipal waste decreased, while e-waste volumes continued to increase.”
