Computers, Printers, Cathode Ray Tube Monitors, Telecommunication and other electronic equipment may contain mercury, lead and other heavy metals, phosphorus, PCBs or acids, all of which are considered toxic and hazardous to human health and the environment.TechUsed has developed solutions for large or small quantities of electronic wastes. Our recycling programs are designed to allow for safe and economical recycling of these toxic and hazardous materials in compliance with both federal and state regulations.To ensure security we remove all asset tags, carefully wipe clean all hard drives and/or destroy data storage devices. This secure process is conducted in compliance with RCMP and US D.O.D. standards. We supply the appropriate certificates certifying the removal and/or destruction of data and hardware.The U.S. government and all 50 states have enacted rules and regulations to manage the recycling and disposal of electronic scrap. Failure to comply with these regulations could put you and your company at risk. The price of scrap is dropping daily.This is mostly due to China closing it’s borders to importers of scrap.Most of these importers were importing (under the table) or smuggling.Add to this change of policy the fact that manufacturing is down and most manufacturing is done in China and you have a downturn in pricing that is effecting most U.S. scrap dealers.Gold bearing scrap going directly to the smelters may be the only saving grace.Mitigate Liability With the number of new legislative actions being considered and passed both Federally and State wide, companies can no longer let these idle assets be sold to employees, given to charity or schools, or to let someone in a pick up truck get them off your back dock to “dispose of”. TechUsed can offer programs that will allow for some of these actions to be taken with your assets but only AFTER they are properly processed and the needed Transfer of Titles can be offered.Audit Serial number capturing, asset tag removal and detailed reporting. TechUsed is committed to removing any client information that may be attached to each asset to prevent any liability that otherwise may have occurred if the asset is remarketed and then sometime in the future shows up in a landfill.Data Security:To ensure security we remove all asset tags, carefully wipe clean all hard drives and/or destroy data storage devices. This secure process is conducted in compliance with RCMP and US D.O.D. standards.
