Free PC Recycling Available From All Green Electronics Recycling

All Green Electronics Recycling announces that they are offering free pick up and free disposal of computer equipment to companies nationwide.

"Many businesses are disposing of their old computer equipment properly. But there are millions of computer systems owned by businesses that will not by recycled responsibly. This is a very real concern for us and the protection of our environment," states Arman Sadeghi, President of All Green.

All Green Electronics Recycling based in California is a nationwide electronics recycler and provides secure disposal of computers, monitors, TVs, cell phones and many other electronics except for household appliances.

"It's not that these companies are irresponsible, they simply don't know what to do when to it comes to disposing of computer equipment. Recycling is our business and we know how to handle the situation and make sure old computers and monitors do not end up in landfills or in the hands of child laborers in developing nations."

"To achieve this we are offering free pick up and free disposal of old computer equipment to any company nationwide."

The Environmental Protection Agency identifies used computer equipment as one of the fastest-growing waste problems in the United States. Computer and monitor components such as circuit boards, batteries, and color cathode ray tubes contain hazardous materials including lead, mercury and chromium. If computers are simply dumped, these toxins can be released into the environment - into the ground and water through landfills, or in the form of toxic incinerated ash.

There is another consideration and that is the information contained on the hard drive. Or more importantly what we think has been deleted from the hard drive.

Craig Crossman, columnist and host of the nationally syndicated computer radio show, Computer America alerts "Data deleted on a hard drive is really not deleted. The OS (Windows, OX S, Linux, etc.) just marks the space to be available for new data and eventually the ?deleted? data will get overwritten. However if you want to make sure you data is truly deleted, you need a utility designed to erase data by overwriting it with random patterns of ones and zeros. There are many such utilities available, some free, some are included within of a suite of utilities. In any case, be sure you use one of these deletion utilities in order to insure you data has been completely overwritten and thus deleted."

Sadeghi continues, "Can companies rely on employees to delete sensistive information recommended by Craig Crossman? Probably not. This means that management will have to check every system before it leaves the premises. Depending on the number of computer systems being sent for disposal this process could take weeks."

"We can save companies time and money as we provide a secure service for the disposal of computer equipment including ones that contained sensitive information. Companies can send a representative to monitor the computer equipment disposal if they wish."

?Companies are continually upgrading their computer systems. We urge companies to consider the computer equipment disposal at the same time they are making the purchase of new systems," concludes Sadeghi.
