E-Waste Removal: A Simple Guide

E-waste removal services are everywhere in California, and many of these companies are located in San Diego. Wondering why this is such a popular service? There's a simple reason. E-waste is all of the electronic waste we produce today. Think about how often you upgrade your smartphone. When was the last time you bought a television? Consider your laptop and tablet upgrades, too. That's a lot of e-waste. Statistics suggest the US produces nearly two tons of e-waste every single year, and it can't just be thrown in the trash. To do so would literally poison our environment. Using an e-waste removal service is the safe way to get rid of it, but before you do, you may want to evaluate what you have on hand.

A Good Starting Place

Begin by checking the condition of your item or items. If they still work, you may want to think about donating them or selling them. You'll want to take a closer look at what you're donating or selling, though, as tablets, phones, and computers all often have personal information on them that could prove dangerous. Be sure they're wiped of sensitive information.

Contact an E-Waste Removal Service

If you don't think the item can be donated or sold, recycling is probably the right route for you. Again, however, you'll want to be sure you remove any personal data. The right e-recycling service, though, can help you be sure your personal data isn't going to get out in the near future with services like hard drive destruction. When you begin to contact recycling companies, ask about how you can be sure your data will be destroyed.

There are many reasons to consider safe electronics recycling services, but the most important is already all around you: the soil, water, and air. Electronics contain dangerous metals that could find their way into the environment, and they could hurt wildlife or even something as personal as your drinking water.
