Free PC Recycling Offered By All Green Electronics Recycling

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

"Most companies are disposing of their old computer equipment responsibly. But there are millions of computer systems owned by companies that will not be 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 businesses are irresponsible, they just unaware of what to do when it comes to disposing of computer hardware. computer equipment disposal is our business and we know how to handle the situation and make sure old hardware do not end up in landfills or in the hands of child laborers in developing nations."

"To achieve this we are offering no charge pick up and free recycling of old computer equipment to any company nationwide."

The Environmental Protection Agency states that used computer hardware as one of the rapidly-growing waste problem 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 concern and that is the data stored on the hard drive. Or more importantly what we believe has been removed 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 corporations depend on staff 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 recycling this procedure could take weeks."

"We can save corporations time and money as we provide a secure system for the recycling of computer equipment such as those that included sensitive information. Companies can send a representative to monitor the computer equipment disposal if they wish."

?Companies are always 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.
