E-Waste
Veolia Environmental Services provides a complete range of compliant and cost-effective services to customers needing to manage end-of-life electronics, or e-waste.
Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams. This has been spurred by increasing technological advances that drive the development of new products and the replacement of outdated electrical equipment. The outdated equipment may contain hazardous materials including batteries or heavy metals, such as cadmium, lead, or mercury which can contaminate the environment if disposed of improperly.
We provide our customers everything from de-manufacturing and recycling to asset management, data destruction and metals recycling in order to convert waste into useable products, thus eliminating potential liability in the future.
Why Recycle
Heavy metals in electronic equipment may cause the equipment to be considered a hazardous waste. Under Subtitle C of the Federal Resource Conservation Act (RCRA), hazardous waste must be properly identified, stored, transported, treated and disposed. A waste generator is responsible for proper disposal of hazardous waste in e-waste and for cleaning up the effects of improper disposal. Recycling reduces the potential for future liability.
