Electronics Recycling & Disposal
Asset retirement can be a complex challenge, sometimes requiring
multiple vendors to handle shipping, packaging, storage, inventory,
data destruction, logistics, disposal and recycling. If not done
properly, you and your company could face serious penalties for
improper disposal as well as extreme data security risks.
We can help you eliminate that risk!
Using a safe secure and environmentally
friendly computer and electronics recycling, disposal and data
destruction.
Using an EPA certified recycler specializing in the
recycling, disposal, data destruction and recovery of valuable and
reusable resources found in end-of-life electronic equipment,
including computers, monitors, printers, peripherals, POS, barcode
scanners and cell phones.
Having several levels of protection regarding the recycling of
your material and with professionals that can tailor a program to fit your
needs and eliminate your liability, all of which allow your material
to be dealt with in a responsible and environmentally conscious
manner.
There are many “collectors,”
but only a few true recyclers.
There are only a few companies in the United States
guaranteeing recycling by doing in-house destruction-using domestic
labor, and then sending raw materials to respected refiners in their
fields.

a landfill

will reach a landfill where it could potentially leak hazardous
materials into the environment, exposing your company to large EPA

equipment we perform a full EPA compliant disposal. Our

Regulations and Penalties
Improper Computer Disposal Can Put
You at Risk
In most states in the US, it’s perfectly legal for
households and many small businesses to throw electronic
waste in their trash. However, several states have enacted
statewide bans on disposing some types of electronic waste
in landfills and/or incinerators. There are also local
disposal laws to consider. We guarantee full compliance with
all EPA, Federal, State, and Local regulations. Contact RACO
Industries for information about the current law for your
specific state and principality.
The risks and costs associated improper technology disposal can
be tremendously damaging.
You need to evaluate all your risk issues such as accounting,
asset management, depreciation, regulatory requirements, storage,
taxes and technology valuation.
We can help with that process, provide consultation to develop a
cost-effective and time-efficient plan that will protect you and
your company.
There are several disposition options. If your assets are
re-marketable, they may cover the costs of disposal.
Assets with no value are scrapped in an environmentally safe manner.
Cost considerations
Storing obsolete equipment can be expensive. Warehousing end-of-life
technology isn’t a good idea when you add up these costs.
- Costs related to software de-installation
- Square footage costs
- Labor costs; put equipment into storage and remove from
storage
- Owned assets must be properly depreciated
- Effects on amortization, depreciation schedules, net income
and taxes
