What Is E-waste?

E-waste is short for electronic waste. E-waste is any discarded electrical or electronic device. The term is most often applied to computers, cell phones and similar devices. At Thunderdome Salvage we like to say if it has a battery or uses a cord, we can recycle it!!

Why Is E-waste Recycling Important?

According to the EPA there was 2.37 million tons of tv's, computers, cellphones and electronics in the waste stream. The majority of house hold electronic devices can be recycled. When they are placed in a landfill or incinerated there is a possibility, over time, chemicals and heavy metals could be released into the soil. It also takes less energy to recycle the materials than to manufacture new ones, conserving our natural resources.

The E-waste Recycling Process

Thunderdome Salvage makes every effort to reach our goal of being a 100% waste free E-waste recycler. All waste is sorted by type and broken down to separate metal, plastic and circuit boards. The plastic is recycled in the same manner as normal household plastic recycling and will be made into new plastic items. The metal is recycled in the same matter as the plastic and will reintroduced into the supply chain. The circuit boards will be sent to waste refiners who will extract the materials from the circuit boards. The materials once refined will then be reused by many industries.
