Our downstream vendors have the appropriate state and EPA licenses for shredding, processing and smelting. Those include air, water, and ground pollution controls. E-waste contains various pollutants that must be contained. Certain products must not be exposed to rain for fear the runoff will contaminate ground or water. Air emissions from smelting operations are regulated such that necessary filters catch any regulated particulates, and stacks are high enough to emit into the upper atmosphere sparing the local area. We make it easy to be environmentally responsible in your electronic waste recycling efforts. Feel free to ask for our downstream records of where your non-viable IT ends up. Or you could always schedule an onsite audit or our facility (Or just show up, we’re always ready!).
