Responsible recycling isn’t free. Electronics contain lead, mercury, and other toxins. The cost to responsibly recycle electronics far exceeds the precious metal recovery costs. At CyberCrunch®, we prioritize data security and take measures to ensure that all data is securely destroyed. Companies offering free recycling often do not have the same level of data security and may put your sensitive information at risk. To learn more about the dangers of free computer recycling, please visit our blog.

Data Destruction

CyberCrunch® uses a multi-step process to ensure all data is destroyed. We start with wiping the hard drive using Department of Defense and National Institute of Standards and Technology guidelines. If the drive cannot be wiped, we physically destroy it using our state-of-the-art shredder or pulverizer. Our pulverizer grinds the hard drive down to 2mm particles, ensuring complete data destruction. We can also provide on-site data destruction services for an additional fee. Contact us for more information.

Environmental Responsibility

Responsible e-waste management is important because electronics can contain hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and other toxic substances that can be harmful to human health and the environment. These materials can contaminate the soil and water if not disposed of properly, leading to health and environmental risks. Additionally, improper disposal of electronics can result in data breaches, as sensitive information may still be present on the devices. By responsibly recycling electronics, businesses can protect both their data and the environment.

Improper disposal of e-waste can have various risks, such as environmental pollution, health hazards, and data security breaches. When electronics are not disposed of properly, they can release hazardous chemicals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium into the environment. These chemicals can pollute soil, air, and water, leading to health problems for people and wildlife. Additionally, improper disposal of electronics can result in sensitive information being leaked or stolen, leading to potential data breaches and identity theft. Proper e-waste management helps prevent these risks and ensures that electronics are recycled and disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.

Improper disposal of e-waste can have a significant impact on the environment. Electronic devices contain hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants that can contaminate the soil and water. These materials can also release toxic fumes when burned or incinerated. Additionally, e-waste disposal contributes to the depletion of natural resources and increases greenhouse gas emissions. By responsibly recycling electronics, we can reduce the negative impact on the environment and protect our natural resources.

I just wanted to let you know that Gary was wonderful to work with today! He’s such a professional – he made this super easy for us!

Easy to schedule pickup. The guys that came to pick up equipment were nice and picked up all containers along with a few heavier items that we couldn’t get into the container. The company provided tracking for trucks and arrived when promised. Everything handled professionally.

Great service. Scheduled online and you were here the next day. Thanks again!
