Component recycling for old computers

Article Abstract:

Statistics indicate that disposal costs for computers could reach $1 billion and the disposal space required would be an acre of land dug 3 1/2 miles deep by 2005. Several environmental and entrepreneurial ventures have been established to meet this problem, such as Advanced Recycling Inc in Belleville, New Jersey, which employs nine people and recycles around 200 tons of discarded computers and terminals every month. The company caters to commercial and industrial firms which constantly upgrade their computers and are looking for a way to dispose of their old hardware.

Getting down to (recycling) business

Article Abstract:

A follow-up to the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 is the Oakland/Berkeley Recycling Market Development Zone program which has enhanced economic growth in California by encouraging local enterprises to upgrade the use of recycled feedstocks in their production of value-added products. Diversion of wastes from landfills has significantly improved by the local industries' enhanced usage of paper, glass, plastics and other recyclable materials.
