The Importance Of Electronic Recycling

We all have it, those old, unwanted electronics that we’ve replaced with the latest and greatest technology. Whether it be an old printer, cell phone, tablet, you name it, these items are just sitting around in storage areas in our homes. It’s even worse in our businesses. Old desktop computers, monitors, phone systems and servers just pack empty storage closets, taking up space you could be using for other things. Let’s not forget about the liquidity of the products. You’re just losing more money each day they are sitting there.

So what’s the answer? Well, the dump should never be considered when it comes to old electronics. Consumers typically crave the latest and greatest gadgets, sending millions of electronics to landfills as soon as they upgrade to the latest model. Only 15-20 percent of all e-waste is recycled in the US. Yet, nearly 100 percent of e-waste is recyclable. All these items can also be the most dangerous materials dumped inside a landfill, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. When improperly disposed of, the heavy metals, plastics and glass in e-waste can pollute the air or seep into waterways. Recycling e-waste can significantly decrease the demand for mining heavy metals and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing virgin materials.

So, recycling is the answer, but where do you do it? Well, if you live in the southern California area, TNR Group Inc. can help you recycle your old items. We will even schedule a pick up for you right from your home or office. Located in Chino, we also offer drop off for items at our location. We only ask that you call ahead or email us to schedule your drop off. You can contact us HERE if you would like to schedule a pick up or drop off.

For businesses seeking a return on their equipment, TNR Group Inc. also offers an asset revaluation and will offer you top dollar for your old equipment. Don’t just let that old equipment sit in storage closets collecting dust and losing more of their value. Sell it to us so we can refurbish it and find another business that could use it to extend that products lifecycle.
