From privacy issues to the EPA, when a computer leaves your company it can become a serious risk for your business. Here’s how Computer Recycling Pros insulates you and your company from these risks.

We take title to your equipment. That is, your equipment becomes our equipment and it’s no longer your responsibility. Hard drives are sanitized or destroyed. Asset tags are removed that may identify the original equipment’s owner. Worthless computer equipment is disposed of in accordance with all Federal and State environmental laws. You’ll receive a “Certificate of Recycle” and invoice providing evidence of services performed. Services are California EPA and DTSC compliant.

Computer Recycling Team Inc. is committed to keeping all ewaste off the landfills and at the same time, keeping your cost to recycle as low as possible. In order to provide this, we must not only smelter some materials, but we may also place some material on secondary markets. Any private data will be destroyed via use of triple data wiping. You may request not to have your materials placed on secondary markets when using our online form or calling us at 626-552-3288.

Resource Recycling Magazine: PRC 2012: What's next in plastics-to-oil?

PRC 2012: What's next in plastics-to-oil? Mixed waste plastic that is commingled and contaminated creates recycling obstacles and generally presents a low-value stream that inevitably leads to landfilling. Plastics-to-oil (PTO) technology can address this issue, but is there a promising future for the commercialization of PTO? New research funded by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) will be presented that critically examines this issue and three companies offer their perspectives on the future of PTO technology. Don't miss the 2012 Plastics Recycling Conference, to be held March 20-21 in Atlanta, Georgia. For more information, visit www.plasticsrecycling.com.

Resource Recycling Magazine: Quebec releases new recycled content certification

Quebec releases new recycled content certification By Editorial Staff, Resource Recycling Quebec's Ministry of the Environment has launched a new certification program for products made with recycled content. The new program called RECYC ECO will certify the percentage of recycled content in consumer products. After the products have been reviewed, they can display a label letting consumers know that the item they're buying is, indeed, made from recycled content. A government bureau, which developed the certification, will oversee the operation of the program and the label will be owned and promoted by RECYC-QUEBEC, the organization that manages the province's waste-reduction efforts.

Resource Recycling Magazine: St. Petersburg may lose curbside recycling collection

St. Petersburg may lose curbside recycling collection By Editorial Staff, Resource Recycling Curbside recycling in St. Petersburg, Florida may be coming to an end due to a lack of participation. The program was established two years ago from the efforts of local environmentalists. Early participation was strong, with more than 4,000 residents signing up for the service in the first month, reports the Tampa Bay Times. However, interest in curbside recycling has not kept pace with expectations of Waste Services of Florida Inc., which provides the service for the city. According to the paper, only 7,249 out of 76,290 homes have signed up for the $2.75-a-month service, which is not enough for the company to make a profit. The paper reports that now areas of surrounding Pinellas County have higher curbside recycling participation rates at 30 percent compared to the city's 9.5 percent rate. City officials suggest that there needs to be a bigger marketing push to keep the program afloat. To return to the Resource Recycling newsletter, click here.
