Fees and charges
INDIVIDUALS
Why are there fees and charges to recycle computers and electronics?
There are two main reasons why there is a cost to recycle your computer and electronic items.
1) There is currently no automated Tec knowledge to dismantle all the computers, TV's and videos etc disposed of by consumers. Workers in our facility do most of the process manually.
2) Computers and electronics contain toxins such as lead, mercury and flame-retardants. Manual dismantling ensures that the components that contain the toxins are removed and processed to EPA standards. Specialized equipment and storage is required for toxins. If allowed to enter the normal waste streams they could leach into our environment and waterways.
There is a cost to recycle but the personal price of not removing toxins from our environment could be fatal. Would you let your children drink water that contained lead?
