Need
Many cities sponsor recycling events for household hazardous waste, motor oil and paint. At the same time, old computers are discarded every day in every part of your city. A computer and electronics recycling drive is the next logical step for cities to offer as a service to its residents. People instinctively know that electronics do not belong in the trash yet do not know that recycling electronics exists as an option. Computer recycling provides an effective service to residents while allowing the city to improve diversion reporting to the state.

Recycling
SoCal Computer Recyclers recycles electronic equipment safely and properly.  Computers and printers are broken down to metals, circuit boards, components and plastics.  We generate virtually no trash from recycling and are able to reintroduce steel, aluminum, copper and gold back into the raw materials stream. CRTs (Cathode Ray Tubes), contained in monitors and televisions, are classified as Universal Waste by the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) and must now be administered and reported to the DTSC on an annual basis. SoCal Computer Recyclers is a registered CRT handler with both the state of California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and the Integrated Waste Management Board.  All our processes comply with local, state and federal regulations.

Given the choice between keeping an item in use and recycling it, SoCal Computer Recyclers always prefers to keep it working.  We do resell used equipment that may have market value, after we have erased all information on the hard drive. We also actively donate equipment to schools, churches and non-profit organizations.  It is our experience from these events, however, that residents drop off equipment for one of two reasons: either it is too old or it is broken. The percentage of equipment we recover for resale or donations from these events is less than twenty percent.

SoCal Computer Recyclers accepts the following types of equipment on this drive: Computers, Monitors, Printers, Cables, Keyboards, Televisions, Stereo Equipment, Telephones, VCRs, hand-held computer games, Network Equipment …practically anything that has a circuit board and a plug.

We do not accept household hazardous waste (HHW), furniture, white goods (washing machines, refrigerators, etc.), used batteries, microwave or conventional ovens, or non-computer related mechanical equipment.  Our rule of thumb is this: if it can be considered an appliance, we will not accept it.

SoCal Computer Recyclers is the region’s most experienced E/C Event Recycler, having worked with the cities of Torrance, Los Angeles, Huntington Beach, Monterey Park, Inglewood, Redondo Beach, Lakewood, and Pasadena. We are committed to solving the problem of e-waste, and demonstrate our commitment by our level of professionalism and service.
