Most electronic consumers in the UK do not realise the impact of e-waste on the local and world environments; they simply view their obsolete electronics as trash. If these same individuals and organisational consumers understood that recycling these devices was as simple as separating their newspapers, aluminum cans and plastic bottles for processing each week, think of how much cleaner our world could be!

Each year it is estimated between 8% and 10% of all personal computers that become obsolete will end up in landfill sites.

One colour monitor alone can contain four to eight pounds of lead and measurable amounts of cadmium, mercury and other toxic metals.  At Secure Data Recycling, every part of your electronic assets is recycled.  Each item is strategically and securely dismantled.  All toxic elements are responsibly disposed of, and all remaining metals, plastics, glass and circuitry is processed.

All of this is pretty scary but the answer is simple, contact a company such as Secure Data Recycling, make sure you do your bit for the environment.
