Marin Electronics Recycling: Say No to Waste

Marin Electronics Recycling Say No to WasteEverybody loves the latest, greatest technology. But what do you do with the old stuff?

Most homes have an old tube TV or an obsolete desktop computer tower sitting around. In some cases, we end up with rooms and storage spaces full of unused, unwanted electronics collecting dust. This is why Marin electronics recycling is getting more and more popular.

Throwing electronics in the garbage poses some big environmental hazards. It’s also illegal to throw away certain kinds of e-waste in California.

So, why not make the call and arrange for Marin electronics recycling pickup from your friendly, local junk removal service? Get those electronics out of your way and make sure they’re handled responsibly—or even donated to charity. That’s a lot more useful than taking up space in your home.

Why E-Waste Is a Big, Dangerous Problem

Around the world and right here in Marin electronics recycling offers a smart, safe, responsible method of dealing with unwanted items. When added to landfill, electronics can lead to health hazards that everybody.

Electronic items cause a variety of environmental problems:

  • Releasing chemicals into the air
  • Contaminating rivers, lakes, oceans, and water supplies
  • Filling up landfill permanently
  • Wasting materials that took tons of fossil fuels to manufacture

Junk King can take care of Marin electronics recycling for items that shouldn’t go to waste:

  • Computers, laptops, monitors
  • Copy machines, fax machines, printers, and other peripherals
  • Television sets (old cathode ray tubes as well as various flat-screen types)
  • Cell phones and other mobile devices

Marin Electronics Recycling Options

Luckily, we have options around Marin County. If you just have one small appliance, you might wait for a recycling event or take it to an electronics store.

But what if you can’t wait for the next recycling date? What if you’ve let your attic fill up with discarded old electronics?

That’s why junk removal services work well for Marin electronics recycling. Junk King doesn’t just haul away regular garbage—we take virtually anything, including electronics. And just like we do with every bit of junk we haul away, we make sure to avoid waste and find recycling options for electronics.

If you have devices that still work, we can try to find a local non-profit or school. The greenest thing to do is to keep electronics in use. Otherwise, we have the resources to make sure that all sorts of electronics and all types of materials get recycled appropriately.

Your old PC doesn’t have to waste space in your home, and it doesn’t have to become hazardous waste in a landfill. Let Junk King haul your discards away and find local Marin electronics recycling methods for you.

Why Is it Important to Recycle Computers?

Recycle_Computers_Junk_King_MarinThere are two kinds of bad garbage: the kind that doesn’t biodegrade, and the hazardous kind that pollutes our environment now. Computers and other electronic waste fall into both categories which is why it is important to recycle computers.

Hazardous materials. It’s important to recycle computers because they usually contain hazardous chemicals and metals that can poison our soil, water, and air. When sent to landfills, computers become dangerous garbage that leaks out hazardous chemicals.

Computers typically contain hazardous materials including mercury, lead, cadmium, lithium, and others. Older computer monitors with cathode ray tubes (like in old televisions) contain lead also.

Nonrenewable materials. The other components of computers include plastics and other engineered materials as well as various metals and precious elements. When we recycle computers, we prevent these materials from sitting permanently in landfills.

Recycle Computers to Follow California Law

The state of California has specific laws governing how to dispose of e-waste like computers. California considers any “covered electronic devices” to be e-waste.

Recycle computers to make sure you follow the laws! If you’re unsure how to recycle electronics, call on junk hauling experts to take care of it for you. This is about taking care of the environment and the people of California as well as protecting the planet.

Find a Loving Home for Usable Items

Keeping up with the latest technologies doesn’t have to mean that your old computers become garbage. You can recycle computers by giving them new life—just find a school, charity, or maybe a neighbor who needs it more than you do!

Your old computer may seem obsolete to you, but children and schools can often find use for any functioning computer. Reusing is even more green than the recycling process, and you can feel good (and maybe even score a tax deduction) by helping someone else.

Don’t Leave a Trail of Personal Info

Privacy is another great reason to recycle computers. Even when everything has been deleted from your computer the normal way, like dragging files to the “trash,” your data can still potentially be recovered by criminals.

Don’t let computers sit around your house forever. Eventually you may forget to take care of the problem. Wipe the hard drive permanently before you recycle computers. Then you’ll rest easy knowing that your personal data and financial information cannot be recovered by the wrong hands.

Finding a location to recycle computers can be difficult. Make it easy by hiring junk hauling services to take care of your electronic waste and any other unwanted debris—Junk King always finds a safe, green disposal method for everything we haul.
