What We Do

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified most electronic scrap as hazardous waste. This "e-waste" is a growing global problem; in the US alone, it is reported that over 30 million PCs are scrapped each year. Improper disposal of this waste would add dangerous amounts of heavy metals such as lead and mercury, and toxic chemicals such as polybrominated flame retardants to our country's landfills.

MCRI specializes in the proper disposal of obsolete/excess computer and electronic equipment, such as mainframes, circuitboards, CPUs, and telecommunication and electrical equipment, including stereos, VCRs, DVDs and telephones.Material salvage  is  a major part of the environmental industry. We can separate and collect the recyclable materials contained in all components of obsolete electronic equipment. Every part, when possible, is recycled.

Asset Management

Our recycling specialists have years of experience in remarketing, recycling, reselling or disposal of used electronic equipment such as computers, communications equipment, and high tech specialty equipment.Our sales specialists can evaluate your equipment, remove all data, then market it for you to a new end-user. A percentage of revenue from these sales, minus direct expenses, can then be returned to you, or donated to a charity of your choice.
