Computer Recycling

As the name suggest, recycle as we all know is the term used when things are re used in different manner. There are many numerous things which can be recycled. Apart from things even the wastes is recycled into manure, which in turn is used as a fertilizer for soil and irrigation purposes. Similarly, even the essential particulars are being recycled which further takes the characteristic of any random new commodity or device.

Computer recycling has become a popular name in many countries. Here the computer parts, which have expired or are at the end of their life. Computers, CPUs, UPS, fax machines, printers, laptops and many other parts which are directly or indirectly related to computers are some of the common electronic products which can be recycled. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled. These are the discarded electronics which are recycled and re used into new products.

Electronic scraps such as a CPUs, UPS, fax machines, printers, laptops, audio/video players, etc contains various harmful components such as lead, iron and various hazardous flammable components which are rarely known to people or are hardly known to anybody. Such items should never be thrown out with the household rubbish because they contain toxic substances, and are effectively hazardous. These components are dumped when their life ends. These are then recycled by the factories which are specially opened for recycling products only. These e wastes later on after being refurbished, takes new face and come in the market as new commodities.

Why is electronics/computer waste recycled?

Computer Recycling involves many risks to workers and communities in almost all the countries. Great care must be taken to avoid unsafe exposure in recycling operations and leaking of materials such as heavy metals from landfills and ashes. This computer recycling process is highly labor intensive and goes through several steps. Though the steps followed to refurbish many parts of the computer are highly extensive steps but are mandatory to re cycled in order to save our environment.

As Australia’s leading electronic waste company, we collect and recycle hundreds of items of computer or PC every week. Many of our customers are trying hard to recycle their obsolete computers and CPUs/UPS. Computer recycling is growing at a faster pace. It has been initiated to protect human and our environment mainly due to the widespread pollution and impacts of e-waste. Each and every single part of the waste is gathered and collected and moved to different ware houses for re-cycling. Many countries, towns, cities and states have their own e-cycling programs that offer convenient location for dropping off these obsolete commodities such as old computers, big monitors, and other electronics parts of the computer. Most electronic waste which is collected goes through a recycling system called a WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). Even the memory or any other data left in the hard discs or drives are destroyed too so as to avoid its misuse.
