Did you know that discarded computer monitors and electronics contain an average of four pounds of lead, along with various amounts of chromium, cadmium, mercury and arsenic? When electronics are not disposed of properly, these toxic materials can seep into our nation’s waste stream and contaminate water supplies.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), consumer electronics are responsible for about 40% of all lead found in landfills.

What is e-cycling?
E-cycling refers to the reuse and environmentally responsible disposal of computers and electronics. At E-Structors, we mechanically shred these items into pieces no larger than 1.5” at our 95,000-square-foot processing facility. The resulting material is then separated into processing bins for 100% recycling and repurposing. Nothing from our EPA-approved process ever enters the nation’s waste stream.
