The Computer Recycling Center was organized as a Missouri Corporation on September 4, 2001. In six years we have become the leader in e-waste recycling in the state of Missouri.

We are currently processing over 58 ton of e-waste a month. We estimate this to double over the next two years.

The Computer Recycling Center currently processes e-waste with a staff of 12 employees. We do not use third party vendors for the demanufacturing or shipping of processed components. All E-Waste is demanufactured in house, to retain control and limit liability concerns. The Computer Recycling Center will provide a Certificate of Destruction for any e-waste upon request.

All CRT's (computer monitors and televisions) are transported to the Doe Run Company in Boss, Missouri. Doe Rune holds a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part B permit, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. For over five years we have maintained a contract with the Doe Run Company to recycle our leaded glass. A copy of our contract is available upon request. It is our opinion that the improper disposal of CRT's poses the greatest liability.

Other recycled components, like tin, wire, printed circuit boards, et cetera, are recycled through selected vendors, including Dideon Orf Recycling, Rolla, MO, ECS Refining, Terrel, TX and Commercial Metals Company, Springfield, MO. All vendors undergo extensive research before being utilized. Common requirements include documentation of their legal statuses, references, and a tour of their facility.

All items are inventoried and recorded on a company Pick Up Order (PUO) from. This information is entered into the company database and a hard copy is also kept in the appropriate company file. Once inventoried, items are stored and distributed to their designated disassemble area.

All monitors are disassembled / demanufactured by removing the video cable first, plastic housing second, the yoke third, and the CRT fourth. These items are placed in their designated disassemble area.

PC's are disassembled / demanufactured based on the PC manufacturer. Each brand and model requires different steps to complete the demanufacturing process. Ultimately, each PC component is placed in the appropriate bin to be sold for scrap.

All asset tags are removed during the demanufacturing process.

The Computer Recycling Center currently accepts Monitors, Televisions, PC's, Mice, Keyboards, Printers, Scanners, Speakers, Cell Phones, and various other e-waste items. All components are accepted and recycled free of charge, with the exception of Televisions. A $20 disposal fee applies to Televisions, regardles of size, for the proper recycling of the leaded glass / CRT. All Hard Drives, from all sources, are shredded to destroy all sensitive data.

Pick-Up service is available for a nominal fee, based on location and volume of e-waste. Nationwide transport available.
