Electronic Recycling: An Overview

If you own a company or simply own a large amount of electronic equipment, chances are that there will come a time when you do not need certain electronics. If you’re like most people, there is a high chance that the hard drives on these devices contain sensitive data. Additionally, so many things go into modern electronic devices that could easily be recycled. Electronic recycling can help you easily dispose of unwanted or unneeded electronics.

What is Electronic Recycling?

Simply put, electronic recycling is the process of getting rid of electronic devices in a way that is safe both for the environment and your intellectual property. Typically, this requires a company that specializes in the process.

Why Should I Recycle?

Electronic devices contain huge amounts of material that are toxic to natural life. Simply throwing away electronic devices is unsafe because it can damage the environment. Perhaps just as importantly, electronic recycling ensures that you or your company’s private data is not at risk when devices are being thrown out. Recycling electronic devices may even make you eligible for certain tax credits.

How Do I Do It?

You should go through a reputable company to get started today. Just as bad as not recycling is finding out that all of your devices were not properly recycled and that your private information could still be recovered from them. SES Recycling, though, is a fully certified e-waste facility, so you can always trust that your materials will be fully destroyed and recycled.

Are There Reasons to NOT Do It?

Depending on exactly how much you're recycling, you may incur a fee to recycle your materials. Some feel that it’s not worth it to pay in the beginning. However, the first time your business gets a bad rap for polluting the environment, or your business’ data gets stolen because proper recycling protocols were not followed, it is already too late.
