Electronic Recycling

If you have end of life electronics to dispose of, ProTech Computing can effectively and responsibly recycle your unwanted electronics. With asset tag tracking and Certificates of Destruction, you can be assured your products have reached their true end of life, stopping your liability tied to the equipment. Our downstream partners carry the highest certifications possible in the global standard for recycling as set by the Basel Action Network. Our process is simple. We gather electronic equipment and start in a secure location until we have a full trailer. We then haul the collections to our partners in Denver where the product is then disassembled and sorted; commodity materials are then sent to downstream partners for further recycling. Hard Drives and other information storage devices are physically destroyed.

  • People in the U.S. threw away 330 million electronic devices in 2006.
  • In 2005, Americans tossed an estimated 1.5 million tons of computers, TVs, scanners, printers, fax machines, and cell phones into the trash.

What & Why

The disposal of end-of-life electronics products has become a topic of interest and concern worldwide as municipalities face the potential of enormous volumes to handle in the future. In addition to aggravating the cost and availability of landfills, electronics products contain materials that should not be treated as common waste. Most, if not all of the materials are recyclable and have reuse value, such as metals and plastics. There are also relatively small quantities of some specific materials that may be potentially hazardous, particularly if they are not disposed of properly, such as lead, mercury and cadmium. Often, outdated electronics are shipped to developing countries. These items are dumped on them without proper means of handling the product, resulting in contamination of air and water. We provide a service that assures the proper handling and disposal of these materials with the objective of optimizing recycling and reuse.
General Definition: Electronics Equipment
Electronics Equipment is a product or apparatus that has its primary functions provided by electronic circuitry and components – i.e., semiconductor devices (e.g., integrated circuits, transistors, diodes), passive components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, inductors), and electro-optical components (e.g., CRTs, LEDs, CCDs, lasers, etc.), sensors (e.g., transducers, MEMs devices) and electronics packaging (e.g. printed circuit boards, connectors).
