Improper disposal of electronics presents quite a large hazard for our environment. In fact, the reason our e-waste occupies such a high percentage of toxic waste is because old electronics contain toxic materials such as mercury and lead, which can seep into the ground and water sources. The EPA covers the topic of e-waste extensively here.

That's why we will properly dispose of your business' electronics for you while maintaining confidentiality and eco-friendliness.
