Affinity Information Management

  Electronic Recycling

More than 50 million tons of discarded electronics, also known as e-waste, are produced every year. In the U.S. alone, more than 30 million computers are discarded annually, and that number shown no sign of decreasing in the future. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that only 12-15% of all e-waste is recycled, with the remainder ending up in landfills across our country. Many of these discarded electronic devices can be re-used. The rest have components and other materials that can be salvaged or recycled. The precious metals in circuit boards, the plastic in exterior cases, and other metals, including steel, copper and aluminum, can all be recycled from old computers, printers, telephones, monitors, cameras, game consoles and other electronic devices.

 At Affinity Information Management, we process hundreds of tons of e-waste every month. Some devices, such as computers, flat-screen monitors, cell phones, games and laptops, can be refurbished and re-used. The remaining e-waste is separated for further processing in specialized facilities that can extract various components and precious metals. The rest is shredded for recycling into new materials and devices.

Old televisions and CRT monitors require special processing because of the hazardous materials, including lead, used in their manufacture. We usually charge a small fee to accept these devices.
