** While the tide is changing, the unfortunate truth is that a lot of
computer equipment still winds up in landfills, leaching toxic materials
into the soil and groundwater. With a little bit of extra effort, you
can take a greener path.
** There are several different ways to remove the data from your hard
drive. One way is to use software that erases the drive completely.
However, there's no way to guarantee that this software will effectively
destroy all the data. A better option is to take the computer to Able IT
Logistics Ltd.
** These days, any computer that is more than 3 years old will be
noticeably slower in its performance than a computer that has been
manufactured in the last few months.
** Our Recycle and Disposal facility keeps the electronic waste from
landfill sites. Even with laws, many people still dump their electronics
illegally in landfills, either purposely or unknowingly.
** According to Government reports between 500,000 to 2,000,000
computers maybe disposed of during any one year.
** During 2008 it was confirmed that almost 10 million computers and
laptops were sold. This could have been to replace older machines.
** More and more companies are looking to outsource the disposition of
their electronic equipment. This is where Able IT Logistics Limited are
here to help.
** Avoid other firms that will just broker your equipment on the open
market, rather than dispose of the equipment with certification.
** Unfortunately, not all recyclers can promise to handle your equipment
responsibly. Able IT offer certification, which is legal and binding.

Computer Recycling -
Convert To Environmental Friendly Mode
Computer recycling refers to the practice of salvaging useable components
from obsolete electronic devices or safely disposing off electronic
devices. It is a
practice that each one of us must inculcate because inappropriate handling
of discarded computers and other electronic devices can cause
environmental
hazards.
Studies estimate that over 60 million electronic pieces become obsolete
throughout the world annually. These pieces have constituents such as
lead, cadmium, barium, and mercury, which are hazardous to the
environment. In a landfill, these materials seep into the ground and then
into our food and water supplies. This can cause serious health concerns
over a long period.
Obsolete Computers: Environmental Threats
Obsolete computers that are simply dumped in our commercial waste are the
biggest threat to the environment. The computer monitors have cathode ray
tubes
containing four to five pounds of lead that contaminates the environment
acutely. Besides lead, the computers have many other hazardous elements
such as
mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. When inhaled over a long
period, these elements cause high blood pressure, liver and nerve disease,
blood with
poor iron, and even brain damage to the exposed group. This causes great
concern, considering several million computers become obsolete annually.
Therefore, we must handle the obsolete electronic devices carefully.
Moreover, different Environmental Laws have banned the illegal landfills
by the disposals of
computers and other electronic equipment. These laws necessitate sending
the un-functional computers to a reputable recycler for harmless
recycling. The laws
also specify the need for regular recycling to avoid such computers from
piling up.
