The rapid growth in popularity of electronics, computers and technologies has produced many fantastic benefits for our society, however because of constant evolution in the industry and high usage, they will eventually become obsolete or defective, may no longer be useful and end up as electronic waste or "e-waste". Electronics recycling or e-cycling of this e-waste can help us to demonstrate that we care about the world we live in and our environment by preventing unnecessary waste and pollution while conserving and preserving some of our valuable natural resources for the future!

E-waste is a term given to electronic, computer and technology products nearing the end of their product life cycle or "useful life" that have become worn, broken or defective. Electronic, computer and technology products, components, devices and gadgets like, computers, servers, monitors, printers, copiers, fax machines, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, radios and cell phones are among some of the most commonly discarded electronics. Many of these products can be Recycled, Remarketed, or Reduced. Unfortunately, electronic waste or e-waste is one of the fastest, growing, segments of our nation's vast waste stream.

Recycling

Recycling has been practiced for decades. The need to recycle rose during the "Great Depression" of the 1930's. It became popular again during the 1970's and then declined, but because of the rise in popularity and use of electronics and computers, the need for recycling and it's benefits is back!E-cycling is the term used to describe the process for electronic waste disposal which encompasses, both electronics recycling and computer recycling. Kansas ewaste recycler, Electronix Recyclers Inc. follows the Reuse, Reduce and Recycle process in handling e-waste at it's Wichita recycling center.

Recycling is the process of turning used materials into new products. It's a key part of modern waste reduction and the "Reuse, Reduce and Recycle" waste hierarchy.

Electronics and computer equipment is received and marked for inventory. It is tested and evaluated to see if it can be used for it's original purpose. If so, it's cleaned, refurbished and hard drives are erased in accordance with DOD standards. Equipment is then resold to consumers or companies or donated for reuse. Non functioning or defective equipment is reduced or broken down into it's core component parts and base materials. All tags and stickers are removed and it is separated before it is sold to reprocessors and other carefully screened, buyers who will eventually utilize these commodities in the manufacturing of brand new products.Finally, all other unrecycleable equipment is reduced or broken down into it's core component parts and base materials. All tags and stickers are removed and it is separated before it is sold to reprocessors or other carefully screened, buyers who will salvage certain materials or commodities because of their intrinsic value or hazardous nature.

There are numerous benefits to buying refurbished computers. Some people think that refurbished products aren’t as good as buying brand new items. This is simply not true, in fact, most refurbished products are just as good as a new product, except that they are much cheaper. Here are a few good things to know about buying refurbished computers.
When a used desktop or laptop computer is sent in to be refurbished, the computer technician inspects the computer and determines whether it is feasible to refurbish or recycle. If refurbished, it is repaired, updated, configured according to original factory specifications and fully tested before it is resold to consumers or donated to charity. If the computer is experiencing physical problems and unfit for reuse, it is reduced and recycled to save our environment.
