The importance of recycling computer components can’t be overstated. Electronic waste often contains harmful substances such as lead and mercury, elements that are highly toxic and must be disposed of properly. Electronic recycling (or e-recycling) helps preserve our environment by keeping harmful materials out of our landfills, soil and water sources.
If toxic elements are released into the soil, they can contaminate food and water supplies. Fortunately, electronics recycling companies like CompuCycle have the technology to handle, extract and dispose of these hazardous materials safely. CompuCycle is an e-recycling specialist, serving Houston, Texas, in addition to their nationwide and international IT clients. Serving industries ranging from education to health care, they provide a full-service, one-stop, end-to-end IT asset disposal solution for organizations that are serious about recycling computer components.
