We have a huge amount of electrical waste to deal with, which is worrisome. Effective recycling is the only method to deal with it. Here are a few points to help to select the best e-waste recycler in your locality:
- Select an e-waste recycler with necessary licences and certifications
- Choose a company that offers data destruction services
- Go for a reputable e-waste recycling company
- Look for companies that recycle 90% or more of the e- waste
Select an electronic waste recycler with necessary licences and certifications:
Make sure that the e-waste recycler you choose has all of the essential certificates and licences, particularly a WEEE certification.
Choose an e-waste recycler that offers data destruction services : It is essential to find an e-waste recycler who uses specialist software to wipe off stored data on your old laptops, computers and mobile phones. If your recycler doesn’t offer secure data wiping, your data might end up in malicious hands. A professional service provider will also give you a written certification that the data was wiped or the storage media is destroyed completely.
Go for a reputable e-waste recycling company : It is always recommended you choose a reputable agency as there is an issue of used computers and other electronic equipment being shipped to developing countries. A professional electronic equipment recycler will keep detailed records of recycling including where they ship materials, how much they ship and serial numbers of items that can be reused.
Look for companies that eCycle 90% or more of the e-waste:
The goal of e-waste recyclers is to recycle as much e-waste as possible. As a result, look for e-waste recyclers that can recycle 90% or more of the materials.
