Why Should I Recycle My Electronics?

Finding a safe and trustworthy company to recycle your old and outdated electronics is very important for a number of reasons. Take a look at a few of the most important.

Protecting Your Personal Data

It seems every day you hear news about a new data breach or identity theft. In fact, you may even know people who have had their identity stolen in the past, and it's a frustrating, heartbreaking experience. Many of our electronic devices such as personal computers, laptops, iPads and tablets contain very sensitive personal information that we don’t want others to have. What do you do, though, when that electronic device reaches the end of its life. If you sell it to someone else, it's tough to tell what might happen to the information on that device. If you simply throw it away, almost anyone could get their hands on it. When that happens, you can bet it puts all of your information at risk. Recycling your electronics with a reputable company such as SES is essential because we can erase your data before it's recycled. You'll never have to worry about someone obtaining a piece of you just because they got their hands on your data.

Recycling Electronics Instead of Having them Take up Space in Landfills

Landfills are overflowing with waste today so it’s important to keep items that do not need to go into landfills out. All electronics can be recycled and given a new life in some manner, so taking them to SES is the green solution for your electronic disposing problems in San Diego.

Many Electronics Contain Hazardous Waist Materials

Hazardous materials such as lead, arsenic, barium, nickel, cadmium, lithium, mercury, zinc sulphide and many other substances can be found in today's electronics, and the last thing you want is these materials leaking into the soil and contaminating the planet. In fact, many states are now forbidding the disposal of certain electronics in landfills. So finding a good and reputable company to dispose of your electronics in the San Diego area such as SES will help keep the planet safe.
