Electronic Equipment Recycling

What We Do

We recycle all obsolete or outdated computers, televisions, cell phones, printers, PDAs, and thousands of other devices commonly used in offices, hospitals, and homes. The global technological revolution is fueling a rapidly growing e-waste problem. The demand to effectively and safely recycle obsolete electronics is driven by the same forces that push manufacturers to build new, smaller, faster, more efficient electronics.

What Is E-Waste

Electronic waste — commonly known as e-scrap or e-waste — is the trash we generate from surplus, broken, and obsolete electronic devices. E-waste recycling is the reuse and reprocessing of electrical and electronic equipment of any type that has been discarded or regarded as obsolete.

Common e-waste includes home appliances such as televisions, air conditioners, electric cookers and heaters, fans, radios, and microwaves; information technology equipment such as computers, mobile phones, laptops, batteries, circuit boards, hard drives, and monitors; and other electronic items used for leisure, lighting, and sport.

Why It Matters

Unfortunately, the majority of these electronic products end up in landfills, and only a tiny percentage comes back as new electronic devices. Electronics are full of valuable materials, including copper, tin, iron, aluminum, titanium, gold, and silver. Many of the materials used to make these devices can be recovered, reused, and recycled — including plastics, metals, and glass.

We are creating e-waste at a rapid rate. With such short useful lives, electronics transition into waste quickly: globally, roughly one cell phone is sold for every four people on the planet each year, and millions of phones, TVs, computers, laptops, and tablets reach the end of their useful life annually. Safe, responsible e-waste recycling protects human and environmental health.

What’s Next

Electronic waste has received much publicity lately and is quickly becoming one of the most substantial risk factors that small and large businesses, hospital systems, government agencies, and school systems face today. Our industry-leading processes, procedures, documentation, and chain-of-custody protocols mitigate that risk for your organization while promoting a greener environment.

With Harr Enterprise, you are assured that your equipment — including servers, PCs, monitors, televisions, telecom systems, cell phones and smartphones, and medical equipment — will be managed responsibly. Our secure, environmentally sound methods eliminate the worry of retiring your end-of-life and end-of-use equipment.
