Representatives from e-Green Management,

LLC will be on hand to recycle your unwanted

electronic equipment, including:

 

• Computers

• Fax Machines

• Scanners

• Laptops

• Monitors

• Typewriters

• Copiers

• Cameras

• Cell Phones

• Televisions

• Printers

e-Green promotes “Zero Waste to Landfill” Ethics and

Operates “Cradle to Cradle” under all Federal, State

and Local Regulations to Ensure the Responsible

Recycling of all E-Waste Collected.

 

Once the equipment reaches us the following process

takes place: All hazardous components (batteries on

circuit boards and portable equipment, mercury switches,

toxic capacitors,   uorescent lamps, leaded glass from

monitors, etc.) will be extracted prior to destruction. These

are then disposed of in an environmentally sound manner,

exceeding Federal and State regulations. Non-hazardous

materials (paper, plastic, metal, glass, etc.) are recycled. All

material assigned to destruction is totally disassembled,

shredded, incinerated or a combination of these.

 

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, January 2008 states that, “It

is estimated that more than 70% of discarded computers and

monitors and well over 80% of TV’s eventually end up in landfi lls,

despite a growing number of state laws prohibiting dumping of

e-waste which leaks lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, beryllium

and other toxics into the ground.” http://ngm.nationalgeographic.
