Donation of electronics is becoming more of an option for companies and individuals because of recycling. Electronic items such as computers, monitors, TVs, cell phones, servers, computer cabling, server decks, printers, copiers, etc., are becoming more economical to recycle. TVs are becoming more of an environmental hazard especially after the conversion from analog to digital goes into effect in February of 2009; the amount of e-waste will surely grow significantly. Electronic scrap is being collected in larger and larger volumes and is the fastest growing segment of the recycling stream.
Some of the responsible factors are from the cost of raw materials continuing to rise making it environmentally viable for recycling to extract the metals in printed circuit boards. Also, there is a need to increase security to ensure safe data destruction when companies replace computer units. As we look to the future, more and more states are passing legislation mandating reductions in the amount of hazardous waste in the waste stream. New technologies are making it much more cost effective to recycle e-waste profitably, which in essence creates an entire new industry.
Electronic scrap can be difficult to process and to sort. Some of the methods currently being used are state of the art with optical separators, electro-static separators, sink-float, hydro-cyclones, density separators, magnets and eddy current separators and air tables.
If you or your company has a surplus of electronic units, consider the opportunity to donate them to benefit a nonprofit. Donated electronics can be properly processed without compromising security or the environment.
