Responsible E-Recycler
SF Bay Area
What is E-waste?
All decommissioned, de-manufactured, broken, and/or unused electronics are examples of e-waste, or as classified by the U.S government, "universal waste." E-waste can contain hazardous materials, such as mercury, chromium, and lead. When e-waste is recycled improperly, these hazardous materials can pose a threat to human health and the environment. As a result, e-waste requires treatment that differs from common household waste creating the need for specialized companies like DRM.
Why Choose a Responsible Recycler?
Responsible recyclers:
- Strive to prevent pollution.
- Ensure safe practices and healthy working conditions.
- Strive for reduced waste and a smaller carbon footprint.
- Ensure sensitive data security at every step of the recycling process.
- Strive to create more sustainable operations that use fewer natural resources.
- Ensure e-waste and its toxic components are not shipped overseas or handled illegally.
