Hi-Tec
Recycling appreciates the opportunity to educate
our customers about our practices within the recycling
industry, and to assure those recycling with us that we
are tirelessly committed to preventing disposal of electronics
and other hazardous materials in local landfills and those
abroad as well.
Hi-Tec Recycling works as a California
Certified (CEWID# 106932) Collector in a chain of events
that leads ultimately to the complete dismantling of the
entire e-waste stream down to its component parts, or
commodities, including dark and light plastic, ferrous
and non-ferrous metals, low and high grade printed circuit
boards, leaded glass, etc. Most of what ends up in landfills
in non-developed nations is sent over intact for reuse.
The
hazardous waste that we deal in has no outlet except with
reputable smelters that are subject to audits and oversight.
Remaining non-hazardous and unregulated categories of
waste are sent to smelters or third party recyclers who
specialize in those specific streams of waste. We have
provided a complete list of our "downstream chain"
below.
**IMPORTANT**
THE RECYCLERS WE WORK WITH DO NOT RESELL OR SHIP ANYTHING
INTACT.
Recycling
is a complex new industry. It is our sincere hope that
those seeking to gain from it will consider that even
though there is a substantial cost in properly processing
e-waste, there is a far graver cost to our environment
and to humanity when we don't do so.
