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.
