AFCAN E-WASTE RECYCLING

Before people started recycling everything was made to be repaired and reused until it simply would not function anymore. Modern technological advances has created a situation where advances in power and ability means that end-of-life electronics still function even though they do not use the most current software. In an effort to stay in the curve of advancement, business and personal users often discard electronics that are perfectly good and usable.

It used to be that IT asset recovery was a piecemeal process consisting of resale or disposal of used electronics. It was considered a necessary by-product of technological advancement and recovery of value in those items was secondary. As sheer volume grows, it becomes easy to see why Afcan E-Waste Recycling provides such a valuable service. Not only can companies gain a larger share of recovery value, but the many ways that items can be recycled are made available to keep these items out of the traditional landfill.

It is our passion at Afcan E-Waste Recycling to protect the planet we live on while providing superior value to consumers who seek to share our vision of a greener tomorrow. By truly embracing “reduce, reuse, and recycle” together we can ensure the e-waste becomes a thing of the past.

Afcan E-Waste Recycling not only handles end-of-life business systems, but ensures full data security. This is done by following all regulations without cutting any corners. Our process takes place in several parts. We will assess the age and condition of the technology brought in to determine if it should be repaired, stripped for components, or recycled in its entirety. If the item is in working condition and can be sold for upgrades we will wipe all information off of it to ensure data privacy. Components stripped from units that are outdated will be re-certified or reconditioned. All remaining parts are recycled in accordance to applicable laws and regulations.

Although Afcan E-Waste Recycling benefits from the “use and toss” mentality, we urge everyone to reuse what they can from their older computer for as long as they can before recycling it. Using an old monitor keeps lead out of the landfills, while reusing other parts can prevent additional heavy metals from leeching out of the casing. Selection of upgradable systems can allow you to increase memory, hard drive space, or CPU power over time, which makes them better for the environment. Functional electronics should be donated to charities before you consider recycling, even though you may get a high redemption fee for bringing it in.

No matter what you decide, Afcan E-Waste Recycling puts the environment first. We will follow all industry and provincial rules in our complete 100% disposal process that gives you a certificate when the process is complete. Any and all old IT assets can be recycled. Trust Afcan E-Waste Recycling to protect your data while recycling your old equipment in a manner consistent with keeping it out of the landfills. This enables the consumer to stay in the curve and protect the environment at the same time.
