Safe and legal computer recycling options
Todays high-tech manufacturers are busy rolling
out millions of electronic products that are
meant to make communication and life in general
simple and enjoyable. However, most of these
products, especially electronics and computers
contain some amounts of toxic materials that pose
a real threat to the environment especially when
they are not disposed of in the right manner.
Whether you are talking about computers,
televisions, lab analyzers or EKG monitors, they
are made using otherwise hazardous materials such
as chlorinated plastics (PVC), cadmium, mercury,
lead and brominates flame retardants. There are
several safe and legal methods that can be used
for Chicago computer recycling that you can
consider.

Charity Donations
You can decide as an organization to donate your
old computers to charity or some schools because
this will go a long way in benefitting some
underprivileged institution. Whats more, making
such a donation is a good public relations
exercise for your company. However, you may have
noticed that the appetite for second hand
computers has reduced significantly as a result
of funding from the government. You may want to
export some of your equipment to countries in
Africa and Easter Europe where there is still a
small window for donations.

Trickle down policy
This is a policy where a computer that becomes
redundant but is still functional enough to be of
use in a different department is taken there.
There are many organizations that have discovered
the benefits of this policy that include getting
all the gains that a company should get from the
entire life of a computer, getting opportunities
for reformatting the computers hard drive
especially when it has to do with internal use
which is an environmentally friendly practice.
The only downside of this policy is that you must
remove data from the machine before it is
redeployed it must be tested for safety once it
has been redeployed and at the end of its life,
you must still look for a safe way to dispose of
the computer.

In-house staff sales
There are some IT departments within companies
that run some informal retail outlets where
workers can buy laptops and PCs you only
challenge with this form of electronics recycling
is that many knowledgeable employees will want to
purchase the few desirable items which could
create unhealthy competition. The IT department
will have to look for a way to avoid favoritism
in selling these items. On the positive side your
employees will be happy while the company will
raise some revenue without using too many
resources.
