I’m really pleased to see this. Thanks for offering this service, guys. Maybe they can share what their process is for recycling in the comments of this thread.

E-waste is defined as all obsolete or outdated computers, televisions, cell phones, printers, PDAs, and thousands of other devices commonly used in offices, homes, and by people on the go. The global technological revolution is fueling the rapidly increasing e-waste recycling problem.
The best way to ensure your electronic waste products are recycled through the proper environmental channels is to bring your unwanted electronic components to Ojai PC Pros at 423 E. Ojai Ave.(right next door to Jersey Mike’s) You just need to drop off the items and we’ll take care of the rest. We take all electronic components. This includes hard drives, computer towers, all internal computer components, modems, routers, printers, printer cartridges, cables, monitors and televisions (CRT & flat panel), uninterrupted power supplies, cell phones, laptops, and power adapters.
Recycling can be a good way to reuse the raw materials in a product, in developed countries, like the U.S., electronics recycling takes place in purpose-built recycling plants under controlled conditions. A good way to increase a product’s lifespan. Many older products are exported to developing countries as well. Most recycling centers would just throw these items into a landfill. The company that we’ve partnered with sorts out and utilizes every material that can be drawn from the the waste. This includes plastic, glass, silicon, etc.
So you can rest assured that all your items will be recycled responsibly by OJAI PC PROS.
Great! Hooray for PC Pros!
