E-Waste Annihilation
You know that old computer sitting in the back of your office closet. It’s worth…nothing. That cell phone you replaced last year. Why is it still in your drawer? We really have no clue what to do with that stuff do we? Don’t want to spend the money wiping it clean because really…you can’t totally get rid of the data no matter what anybody tells you. Worse yet – those components are filled with really bad stuff like lead, mercury and hexavalent chromium.
Did you know that if you actually throw that cell phone away in the trash, it has the potential pollute 40,000 gallons of water? Know you wouldn’t want to do that.
Marshall Shredding has a solution. We’ll take it…shred it…recycle the good stuff…and that’s the end of that.
Marshall Shredding operates a centralized processing facility that handles environmental disposal and end-of-life cycle management for surplus, obsolete and non-working computer or electronic business equipment, including computers, hard drives, batteries, mobile phones, SIM cards and computer components.
Prepare to be as amazed as we were with these stats from the EPA and Earth911.com:
- Americans own approximately 24 electronic products per household.
- More than 63 million computers become obsolete each year.
- E-waste is growing at three times the rate of other municipal waste.
- It’s estimated that there are more than 500 million used cell phones ready for disposal.
- Recycling one million laptops saves the energy equivalent to the electricity used by 3,657 US homes in a year.
