Free Computer System Recycling Offered By 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.

"A majority of corporations are disposing of their old computer hardware responsibly. But there are millions of computer systems owned by companies that will not be disposed of 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 simply don't know what to do about recycling of computer systems. Computer recycling is our business and we know how to handle the situation and make sure old hardware find their way into landfills or in the hands of child laborers in developing nations."

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

The Environmental Protection Agency suggests 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 problem and that is the data contained on the hard drive. Or more importantly what we assume 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 staff to delete sensistive information recommended by Craig Crossman? Probably not. This means that businesses 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 businesses time and money as we provide a secure system for the recycling of computer hardware such as those that included sensitive information. Corporations can send a staff member to monitor the computer equipment disposal if they wish."

?Corporations 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.
