Computer Disposal Quotations and Enquiries


*************



** Don't just think of that tired old machine as yesterday's news—it deserves some serious attention, to turn it from potential landfill contents into a positive result.
** The process of transferring your files from your old computer to your new one is more involved than you might think. If you try to back up your old files to CDs or DVDs, you'll probably be shuffling disks for the next few days. Fortunately, there are better ways to transfer files from one computer to another. The most convenient tool for transferring your files is an external hard drive.
** For the last couple of decades, the rapid advances in computing technology have given rise to a corresponding problem of computers becoming quickly obsolete.

** 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.
 

** Data protection is extremely important to all businesses. Corporate trade secrets, personal information about clients, and non-transferable licensed software must all be removed from media prior to disposal, unless you have certification that your hard drive has been destroyed.
** During a two-year period, some students have been monitored during their purchase of 158 hard drives at second hand stores and on eBay. Of the 129 drives that functioned, 69 still had recoverable files on them and 49 contained “significant personal information,” including 5,000 credit card numbers.
** Simply reformatting a hard drive will not erase data.

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.
