The term e-waste refers to electronic equipment that is near or has reached the end of its life cycle.

Often times, these items can be reused, refurbished, re-sold or recycled.

Some of the most common e-waste items are computers, computer components, laptops, televisions, cell phones, printers, and fax machines.

Used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal are also considered e-waste.

Electronic scrap components, such as CPUs also contain potentially harmful components such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, or brominated flame retardants.

Throwing computers and other electronic e-waste in the trash overflows landfills and may cause environmental and health damage to humans.

Components and materials used to create computers and other electronics are toxic when leaked into the soil, atmosphere and water system via improper disposal.

Utilising Computer Recycling’s E-Waste recycling services will benefit the environment as well as protect you and your business against leaks of secure information.

Computer Recycling Ltd uses a technical approach, dividing out as much equipment as possible for reuse. These items are tested and refurbished, before being marketed by our subsidiary company - Tech Barn.

For equipment that can’t be reused, these items are prepared, dismantled and packaged for recycling.

Recycling of e-waste also has two main streams:

• What can be done in New Zealand
• What can't be done in New Zealand

As technology, equipment and the volume of e-waste for recycling increases and improves, we are able to process more and more e-waste recycling here in NZ.

At this stage though, NZ just doesn’t have the volumes to make the full dismantling and metal recovery of most e-waste material viable – meaning we utilise services off-shore.
