Recycling Profile
What to do with outdated and unwanted computers is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 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. See our home page for current recycling
rates.

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.
