| The challenge of recycling electronic equipment is that while used equipment may contain good parts and recyclable materials, the process of separating those materials is labor intensive. In the cases where the used value of the equipment does not cover the labor associated with recycling it, we charge for our services. This charge is generally far more cost effective than storing the equipment, paying your staff to legally dispose of the equipment, or the fines associated with illegally dumping the equipment.

|
| When your equipment arrives at our location, it is sorted and goes through several steps: |
|
 |
Any data destruction services you have requested are performed |
|
|
Equipment for which there is a strong resale market is tested and stocked. This is our preferred scenario as it allows the equipment to remain in use and completely removes it from the recycling stream. |
|
|
Non-Functional equipment is either demanufactured by us, or sent to equipment specific vendors for demanufacturing. Working parts are used to repair similar equipment and broken parts move on to the next step in the recycling process. |
|
|
Equipment that is broken or for which there is no market is completely stripped and individual recyclable materials such as plastic and steel are sent to material specific recyclers. |
|
|
Circuit boards are sent to companies that recover the individual chips from the board, properly dispose of the solder, and send the printed circuit itself on for recycling. |
