We pick up your discarded computers and monitors and re-manufacture them for use in local non-profits and developing nations.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, computers are now the fastest growing category of solid waste in this country. Studies estimate that 315 to 600 million desktop and laptop computers in the U.S. will soon be discarded. Discarded computers and other consumer electronics (so called e-waste) are growing almost 3 times faster than our overall municipal waste stream. A pile of these discarded computers would reach a mile high and cover six acres!
Preventing waste in the first place is usually preferable to any waste management option...including recycling. Donating used electronics for reuse extends the lives of valuable products and keeps them out of the waste stream for a longer period of time. Reuse, in addition to being an environmentally preferable alternative, also benefits society. Those who are too poor to buy new equipment benefit from those who are eager to get rid of theirs. By donating your used electronics, you allow local non-profits and developing nations to obtain equipment that they otherwise could not afford.
Please call us so we can make arrangements to pick up your discarded computers and electronic equipment.
