Recycling

Computers, monitors, and most other electronics equipment contain toxic metals that can leak in to the soil and contaminate the drinking water, as well as poison the soil to prevent growth of future vegetation. This carelessness can cause millions of dollars in fines, cleanup costs, and, not to mention, bad publicity. While many companies put this same equipment in to storage, eventually, it will have to be disposed of properly.

While recycling is the main method of disposing of computer and electronics equipment, DMD Systems Recovery prefers to make it their last method. We spend millions of dollars each year refurbishing and remanufacturing equipment so that it can be re-used in the IT industry. DMD Systems believes that computer re-use can benefit our environment and our economy more than recycling.

Trying to track the regulations made by Federal and State agencies can be a headache, especially for companies that are spread throughout the United States. In the last five years, there have been over 75 bills introduced to Congress that effect the way that computers and electronics can be recycled. While not all of the bills are passed, there are many states that are adopting their own laws that make it illegal to dump electronic waste (e-waste) in landfills. With the new "go green" stance that is being adopted by the government and other corporations, new laws concerning e-waste are forthcoming. As a major corporation, e-waste isn't your only concern. You also have to make sure that you are compliant with HIPPA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and SOX when it comes to handling sensitive data.

Why should you worry about making sure that your company is compliant with all of these laws, new and old? Recycle with DMD Systems Recovery and you can trust that your company is not an e-waste compliance risk, while still receiving the valuable asset information that your records require.
