Indians dump thousands of tons of e-waste in landfills every year. Much of this e-waste is the result of the constant need for businesses and consumers to improve their technology. This long list of electronic products includes new computers, laptops, handheld devices, and servers. In many cases, these electronic components still work or contain functional components that may still be useful.

Electronic products not only add tons of waste to our landfills, but they also contain toxins that are dangerous to our health and the environment. When you understand how easy it is to recycle electronic devices and the benefits it brings to society, our health, and the environment, you can ensure that your old electronic devices do not end up in local landfills.

Government recycling standards

Many pollutants, such as heavy metals, can be released into the environment by recycling electronic waste. This polluted air can be inhaled and toxins can accumulate in the human body.

Fortunately, the government has regulations in place to ensure electronic devices are disposed of properly. Since consumers and businesses often cannot figure out how to comply with these regulations, tons of e-waste always end up in landfills. We know it is important to follow the best industry and government recycling standards because they help minimize our environmental impact.

Our goal is to recondition and reuse as many electronic types of equipment as possible, whether it is reconditioning or collecting electronic components, so they can be reused. In the event that the items cannot be stored, we will recycle the material in accordance with legal provisions.

Consumer Electronics Recycling

As consumers, we tend to be interested in our material goods. However, everyone has a responsibility to find ways to protect the environment. Recycling is one of the easiest ways to do this. There are a number of comprehensive recycling services that consumers can use to dispose of their used electronics and other electrical equipment. We can help you with this process, including computers, laptops, cell phones, and servers.

Recovery programs and recycling plans support the process. For example, we can ensure that all your electronic devices are disposed of and recycled legally, ethically, and economically, in accordance with local laws, compliance regulations, and company initiatives.

In the community

Local communities also have a responsibility to be more respectful of the environment. By working with experts like ours, municipalities can ensure that e-waste is properly recycled. We work with many municipalities and organize events for the disposal of electronic waste, including batteries. Then we will remove it in the most environmentally friendly way possible. We can also help with fundraising and charity events if your community is interested in raising awareness about recycling electronics.

Regardless of the steps, you take to ensure your electronic devices are recycled properly, we recommend that you protect your personal information when disposing of personal phones, tablets, and laptops. Data erasure and destruction is the only way to safely delete all of your personal data before the material is properly destroyed or recycled.
