Obsolete electronics are the fastest growing component of the global waste stream. End-of-life electronics can contain lead, mercury, chromium, nickel and zinc. Cell phones often contain lead, nickel and cadmium and the EPA estimates that there are more than 500 million used cell phones ready for disposal. Make sure you choose your recycler carefully because your e-waste could be exported to Asia and Africa where it is frequently mishandled causing pollution and adverse health impacts.

It’s not just PCs and servers that hold sensitive data, printers, copiers, scanners and cell phones are all recording your information as well. To ensure your data is secure, your equipment will either go through data erasure up to government standards or will be physically shredded down to dime size pieces through our in-house machinery. This process and electronics recycling machinery is located right here in Reno, NV in our 80,000 sq.ft. electronics recycling facility.
