Corporate Recycling Programs

Each year, over 2 million tons of electronics become obsolete and are disposed. The environmentally safe disposal of electronics has rampantly become a major concern in recent years. With companies facing increased pressure by society and governmental regulations to enact green initiatives, the decision to recycle old technology can illustrate a company's dedication to providing for a greener tomorrow. While the obsolete electronics can be valuable, they also represent an environmental and security issue.

Various toxic metals can be found in electronics, including lead, mercury, and cadmium, can cause serious harm to the environment. When disposed in landfills, these toxins can leach into the water stream and land, causing damage to individuals, animals and the environment. And since most technology contains private information, finding a company that will dispose of your equipment in a manner that protects your information should be a high priority. Allowing your old technology to end up in a landfill poses a serious threat to your company's security. We help protect you from the potential dangers of electronics recycling.

Companies today also face pressure to find a fiscally responsible method of recycling electronics. At Bass Computers, Inc., we work with our corporate customers to provide them compensation for their valuable obsolete electronics and surplus inventory.

Bass Computers, Inc. offers our corporate customers a full range of e-waste services and collection events. We can design and implement a financially and environmentally responsible program based on the types and amount of equipment. As a distributor of computer and security components, Bass Computers, Inc. also offers the option of receiving cash or credit for your recycled electronics towards the purchase of new technology.
