PC disposal bill introduced in Congress
Posted in Company Press
Article on federal legislation that was introduced to impose a $10 fee on PCs, monitors and laptops to pay for recycling centers. Article also discusses how PCdisposal.com is already providing disposal services for companies.
PCs contain lead, mercury and PVC plastics, which are all hazardous materials. The fee would be used to create a federal grant program for building computer recycling centers. Private-sector businesses are already offering disposal services...one company engaged in that kind of work is PCdisposal.com LLC in Lenexa, Kan.
Introducing the PrivaCage™ secure equipment container. When
you order PC Disposal's Secure Plus™ Risk Management Disposal service, these cages
will be delivered to your location. PrivaCages can easily be rolled from floor to floor
and room to room, allowing your staff to securely move old equipment to your shipping
dock for pickup by our company.
Sometimes publicity can be a bad thing. Like when
your company is in the news because client records were found in city dumps or bought on
an auction website. If recycling companies are keeping their promises to sanitize hard
drives, why does data keep showing up on hard drives that were supposed to be sanitized
or destroyed?
