Doing our Part to
Address the E-Waste Crisis
At RCK Computer Services, we are here to maximize the value of your computer investment and to minimize the ecological consequences of your use of technology. A part of that is offering a second life to used computer equipment.
E-waste is the fastest growing segment of the waste stream. This leads to many unfortunate consequences, particularly from the threat that the hazardous constituents of electronic equipment poses to the water shed.
"E-waste processors use a variety of still-developing processes to separate the materials contained in electronic equipment, achieving a 98%+ recovery rate of the various plastics, metals, glass etc that can be reused to manufacture anything from new electronics to plastic lumber," wrote Julian Powell of Zentech Computer Recycling, a pioneer in the growing e-waste industry. "This exploding industry uses a variety of techniques from manual dismantling to shredding and sophisticated chemical and mechanical processes to recover the enormous variety of materials contained in electronics."
Although we are still researching local post-consumer markets for various components of the electronics waste stream, we are prepared to immediately begin accepting used computers and monitors.
We charge $15.00 per computer and $1.00 per diagonal inch for used monitors. Please give us a call to arrange the drop off of your old computer here in Nelson. We are now exploring potential drop-off sites throughout the Kootenays.
