The Dangers of Free Computer Recycling
Protect Your Business and the Environment with Responsible RecyclingCyberCrunch®: Why Free Computer Recycling Can Cost Your Business
Protect your company and your customers by choosing responsible e-waste management with CyberCrunch®
In the world of e-waste there are many options, including so-called no-cost or "free" options. However, these options can put your business, customers, and yourself at risk. At CyberCrunch®, we believe in responsible e-waste management, and that means ensuring that all of our processes and services are in compliance with state and federal regulations.
Here is a 3 point plan to find a reputable recycler:
Responsible recycling:
Is the recycler certified to one of the two EPA recognized standards (R2 Responsible Recycling or e-Steward)?
Data destruction:
Is the recycler NAID-AAA certified for hard drive destruction?
Insurance
Does the recycler have general liability, cyber liability, pollution liability, and employee/crime liability insurance?

Cost of Non-Compliance
Improper disposal of electronic waste can lead to serious consequences for your business, including financial penalties and legal liabilities. For example, in 2016, Morgan Stanley was fined $1 million by the SEC for failing to adequately protect customer data during the decommissioning of its data centers. The SEC found that Morgan Stanley had not properly vetted its IT asset disposal vendor, which ultimately led to the loss of sensitive information.
In addition to regulatory fines and legal liabilities, improper disposal of e-waste can also harm the environment and pose a health risk to individuals. Electronic devices often contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals that can leach into soil and water, leading to environmental contamination and negative health impacts. In recent years, several major companies, including Dish Network and AT&T, have been fined millions of dollars for improper disposal of electronic waste.
By choosing CyberCrunch® for your electronic recycling needs, you can avoid the risk of non-compliance and ensure that your electronic waste is disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. Our R2/RIOS certification and NAID AAA certification guarantee that we adhere to the highest standards for data destruction and environmental responsibility.
