Recycling Opportunities

Recycling Opportunities,devices not fit for reuse, or unused components from repair, refurbishment or upgrade operations, should be disassembled and processed for recovery of raw materials in an environmentally sound manner. Scrap metal prices have soared in recent years due to shortages caused by increased consumption of raw materials.

PCs contain valuable ferrous (e.g. iron),non-ferrous (e.g. aluminum, copper) and precious (e.g. gold, palladium,silver, indium, gallium) metals that can be obtained from dismantling computer cases, frames, wires, cables and other components. The rising value of these materials makes recycling more economically viable and attractive
