The electronic equipment and components acceptable for drop-off includes personal computers, computer peripherals, networking equipment, main frames, servers, point-of-sale equipment, printers, audio/visual and telecom devices. surplus metals, wire and cable, ballasts, and power strips. Miscellaneous electronic items such as test and/or lab equipment are also acceptable.
“Proper recycling of electronic equipment such as older computers, printers, copiers and fax machines is vital for our environment and the sustainability of our communities,” said Tom Holland, business development manager, Westech Recyclers, an Arizona Technology Council member company. “Citizens participating in this Recycling Day are effectively giving back to the community, either to schools, charities, economically disadvantaged or disabled citizens. This type of effort benefits both the environment and the community.”
