One of Clovis recyclers’ most frequent complaints is that the widespread lack of interest among the city’s business towards recycling their old PCs, laptops and other e-waste. Their concern is not without its foundations.
EPA estimates that 112,000 PCs are discarded in the U.S. everyday. That adds to 41.1 million desktops and laptop computers a year. The volume is huge especially when you consider only 40.40 percent of e-waste is recycled. The rest piles up in landfills.
Why does it happen? Why do not businesses in Clovis, Fresno and elsewhere in America recycle old PCs?
We think there are three main reasons:
Lack of Awareness
It may surprise some of you, but our experience in e-waste recycling in Clovis reveals that many businesses are not aware that they can recycle their old PCs. “Dumping is the sole option” is a prevalent attitude, especially among baby boomers.
Inconvenience
Among the minority of businesses who are aware and who care about the earth, many do not reach out to Clovis recyclers because they think whole business will turn out to be utterly inconvenient.
Security Concerns
Many recyclers do not recycle your e-waste here in America. They ship is off to Asia or Africa. Many businesses harbor doubts about the recycling practices in those places and are concerned about their sensitive data ending up in wrong hands.
How to Deal With This Situation?
