Electronics, Lamps, Batteries Recycling Services

In 2005, used or unwanted electronics amounted to approximately 1.9 to 2.2 million tons. Of that, about 1.5 to 1.9 million tons were primarily discarded in landfills, and only 345,000 to 379,000 tons were recycled. Since 2005 more than 5 million tons of e-waste has been generated annually in the United States.

Computer monitors and older TV picture tubes contain an average of four pounds of lead and require special handling at the end of their lives. In addition to lead, electronics can contain chromium, cadmium, mercury, beryllium, nickel, zinc, and brominated flame retardants. When electronics are not disposed of or recycled properly, these toxic materials can present problems. Safely recycling outdated electronics can promote the safe management of hazardous components and supports the recovery and reuse of valuable materials. - United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA).

Safe & Sound
Safe & Sound is more than just a process; it’s the final result for a client. The process starts with hand sorting materials allowing best-use identification. We then use a manual disassembly technique uniquely coupled with mechanical separation maximizing the recovery yield of recyclable commodities. This unique process creates less waste, resulting in a cleaner environment for the future.

High Resale Rates
20% of all incoming equipment is refurbished for resale – extending the useful life of electronics and offsetting the demand for new equipment in some markets. Parts from recycled machines are also harvested to repair and upgrade other machines, thereby maximizing the useful life as much as possible.
