Much of the plastic and metal in computers and TVs, for example, can be reclaimed and used to make everything from irrigation piping to coins. As well, many older electronics contain substances of concern that, if not handled properly, could have environmental impacts and cause health and safety issues. Why recycle your electronics? O n c e collected, items are shipped to a facility where they are inspected and weighed. Then they are sent to an approved processor for manual dismantling and/or mechanical processing. Hazardous materials are sent for further processing, while materials available for down cycling are turned into commodities such as steel, aluminum, copper, glass and plastic for use in new products. Recycled plastics, for example, are used to produce irrigation piping and outdoor furniture, and recycled glass is made into new monitors or TVs. Your assurance?
