Electronics Recycling Services
We recycle
most types of electronic equipment (Personal computers, CRT monitors,
LCD monitors, keyboard/mouse etc.) click here for a list of available
services and accepted items. Our process utilizes all avenues so this
equipment does not end up filling our already overworked landfill.
Items are sorted at our location, reusable items are tested and put
back into the community, and obsolete or defective items are sorted
by their respective components and forwarded to the appropriate organizations
to go through the recycling process.
Many items
can be accepted at no charge however due to the cost of processing some
items are subject to a recycling fee. Please note that at present
not all electronics can be accepted. Unfortunately we cannot accept
equipment contaminated by medical or chemical substances,
or batteries of any kind at this time.
How Does
the Process Work?
When equipment comes in, either
from a consumer or a business, it is assessed for usability.
- Is it in saleable
condition (clean and working, etc.)?
- Is the technology
current enough to be of use to someone who might not otherwise own a
computer?
- Is there a market
for the equipment?
If the answer to any of these
questions is yes, we:
- Wipe the hard drive
to eliminate any existing data.
- Clean accumulated
dust from the power supply and chassis using compressed air.
- Clean all external
surfaces.
- Test working condition
to ensure a reasonable life expectancy.
If, on the other hand, the
answer to all of the above questions is no, we:
- Disassemble the
unit, testing and keeping any usable parts.
- Wipe the hard drive
to eliminate any existing data.
- Usable parts are
sold or used to repair otherwise unserviceable units.
Unusable parts are separated
into:
- Electronic assemblies
(circuit boards, power supplies, etc) (forwarded an Ontario Electronics Stewardship (OES) Waste Electrical
and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) program aproved recycling facility)
- Monitor components
(forwarded to OES for distrabution to an Ontario Electronics Stewardship (OES) Waste Electrical
and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) program aproved recycling facility)
- Plastics (forwarded an Ontario Electronics Stewardship (OES) Waste Electrical
and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) program aproved recycling facility)
- Metals (separated
into different types and forwarded an Ontario Electronics Stewardship (OES) Waste Electrical
and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) program aproved recycling facility)
