Electronic & Obsolete Equipment Recycling & Disposal

Obsolete or nonfunctioning electronic equipment can be recycled and disposed of to conserve natural resources and protect the environment.   Clean Harbors de-manufactures equipment and identifies and removes hazardous components for proper disposal.  Materials for recycling are then segregated and managed for recycle value, all in accordance with applicable regulations.

Customers can easily and confidentially dispose of electronic and process equipment without endangering municipal landfills while gaining the opportunity for the recycling of component materials. 

Examples of Equipment and Components that can be Processed

• Electronic business equipment, production equipment with electronic controllers, computers (main frames) and peripherals (PCs, printers, monitors, tape drives, keyboards, etc.)
• Personal home office equipment and products (telephones, answering machines, typewriters, pagers, cellular phones, etc.)
• Small home appliances (microwaves, toasters, blenders), entertainment and visual equipment (televisions, video cassette recorders, stereo equipment, cameras, video game players, etc.)
• Small, Freon-containing devices (refrigerators, air conditioners, medical equipment, etc,) can be drained and recycled

Liability Protection

Customers gain liability protection through a regulatory–approved system.  Experienced technicians thoroughly review equipment and remove all hazardous components.  Clean Harbors will take title to any waste and ensure proper disposal.

Destruction of Confidential Equipment and Technology

Equipment and the technology can be handled as “confidential.”  Technicians performing the de-manufacturing process ensure the equipment is destroyed and that no technical information can be recovered from any of the data storage components.

Maximizes Recycling Activities

Technicians sort the recyclable materials according to type and grade.  Suitable components are then sent for recycling.  Destruction and landfill are the last option used for disposal.

Satisfy Universal Waste Disposal Requirements

Meeting federal and state mandated Universal Waste regulations is a priority for Clean Harbors.  At the same time, Clean Harbors provides maximum flexibility in the types of materials and components being recycled.
