Why Electronics Don't Belong in the Trash
Toxic materials, lost resources, and legal requirements you should know about.
Toxic Materials Inside
Electronics contain lead, mercury, cadmium, beryllium, and brominated flame retardants. When landfilled, these leach into soil and groundwater. A single CRT TV contains 4–8 lbs of lead.
Texas Recycling Law
Texas law (HB 2714) requires TV and computer manufacturers to provide free recycling to consumers. But the drop-off locations are limited and inconvenient. We bridge that gap with door-to-door pickup.
Valuable Materials Lost
A ton of circuit boards contains 40–800x more gold than a ton of ore. Copper, silver, palladium, and rare earth elements are all recoverable. Trashing electronics is literally throwing away precious metals.
Data Security Risk
Old hard drives, phones, and tablets contain personal and financial data. Simply deleting files isn't enough—data can be recovered. Proper recycling includes data destruction options for peace of mind.

What's Recovered from Your Old Electronics?
E-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream — and the most resource-rich.
Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium from circuit boards and connectors. A ton of phones contains 300g of gold — 80x more than a ton of gold ore.
Wiring, circuit traces, and heat sinks. Copper is infinitely recyclable and a single computer contains 1.5–3 lbs of it.
Cases, frames, heat sinks, and structural components. Recycled into new products with 95% less energy than mining raw material.
Housings, bezels, and internal components. Sorted by type (ABS, polycarbonate, etc.) and recycled into new plastic products.
Monitor and TV screens. CRT glass requires specialized lead-separation processing. LCD panels are recycled for indium recovery.
Neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium from speakers, hard drives, and displays. Critical for new technology manufacturing.
