"(Recycling is) ...taking what is useless and by recovery, salvage, & alteration restoring usefulness and value."

    Quote by owner Bert Paine

    What to do with outdated and unwanted computers is becoming and increasingly vexing question for companies large and small.  The components on these products include aluminum, plastics, glass, cathode ray tubes (CRT's), liquid crystal displays (LCD's), solder, lead, and other materials that are not friendly to the environment.  As a result, many states have made it illegal to simply throw-out or dump  used computers and related electronic equipment.

The Computer Recycle Center specializes in the disposition of computer and electronic equipment either by dropping off your salvage at their Fort Worth, TX location or arrangements can be made for reasonable pick-up localy. Local pick-ups will be subject to charges if the product is not on pallets and we are not able to load ether by loading dock or forklift. If we have to send someone out to palletize or load the product by hand there will be a $30.00 hr charge for the truck and a $20.00 hr charge for the each person. You may call for a quote. Nationwide pick-ups can be arranged through our company or you may arrange shipment but we do require the customer pay shipping on scrap computers and parts. Starting January 1, 2002 there will be minimal charges to recycle some components. Striped systems will cost $2.00 per system and all monitors will cost $8.00 each to recycle. This is due in part by the charges we have had to incur to recycle this product.

    Do we Need to Recycle?  The EPA Urges  Industries to use Common Sense

     The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has embraced an Extended Product Responsibility approach to the environmentally friendly disposition of these products.  The EPA instituted the Common Sense Initiative (CSI) in 1994 to seek "...cleaner, cheaper, and smarter" solutions to the environmental issues concerning used computers and electronics.
