The proper disposal of electronic waste, commonly referred to as E-waste, is a good idea for homeowners and businesses, but it’s especially important for companies. Recently, TJX Companies, the parent company of TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods, was ordered by a judge to pay $2.05 million for unlawful disposal of e-scrap, along with other products.

What Is E-Waste Recycling

By definition, an electronic waste recycling company focuses on the environment, keenly aware of the personal and public interest in proper recycling and the legal implications of non-adherence. That process begins at the time of pick-up, and the electronic waste products are properly sorted according to specific regulations. A recycler is aware of industry regulations and likely will include its environmental policy on its website. This is a customer’s assurance of the recycler’s compliance. It also reflects the recycler’s awareness of their client companies’ bottom line.

An experienced e-waste recycling company re-purposes, re-uses, or re-sells/remarkets items whenever possible. In many cases, the disposal of electronic items is the most viable option. This also includes managing used and end-of-life electronic equipment, components, and materials with respect to on-site activities and the selection of downstream vendors.

A collection of computer devices, which often includes the mouse and keyboard to laptops, phones, monitors, and full-size desktop computers and all peripherals, can be scheduled for convenient pick-up at the business location. One phone call or a mouse click on the website of the e-waste recycling company is all that is required. For some industries, pick-up schedules are automated monthly or quarterly.

While many businesses suffer hefty fines, only the largest companies and the most significant financial damages make headlines.
