By Ines Flores


In today's world all electronics are playing a large role in everyday life. Computer recycling Austin are there to help with all these unwanted and old items that need to be replaced or have just given in. They do however charge a small fee when recycling monitors but with any other electronic goods it is for free.

They will recycle anything from office phones, UPS devices, steel, keyboards, and printers in essence anything that has an electrical plug on the end. Their means of disposing them is with a very large shredder that will grind everything down to very small articles and then will automatically sort them into various bundles. Their customers have very good reviews and say they will definitely go back in the future.

Before one thinks of recycling find out if there are any schools or nursing homes that are willing to take the old one, these are expensive and not everyone can afford new ones. Whether it is being given away or not always start by wiping off all private information from the hard drive. Doing a back up of everything is a must.

Any programmer that is skilled will be able to find all this information fairly easily. To ensure all is deleted overwrite the hard drive and not just once but a few times.

With the aid of recycling the plastics, iron, silicon, tin and aluminium that are used can be re-used in the making of new systems whereas the gold, copper and lead can be reclaimed. A normal monitor holds as much as six percent of lead and a thirty eight centimetre one as much as one kilogram. All the circuit boards contain a very large amount of lead tin solders and this is released into the environment when not disposed of properly.

The toxic substance dioxin or polychlorinated dibenzodioxins is a group of compounds that are major ecological pollutants. They are likely to cause both short term and long term damage by the way they change the growth rates in animals and plants. Many do not dissolve once dumped and will remain for years under the soil.

An E- Waste Grant program has been introduced by the Bureau of Waste Management and it is to help aid in the collection and processing of such waste. There are a few centres that are in the process of being established that will be able to serve more than half of the Kansas counties.
