Proper Electronics Disposal--Not Dumped
Recycling your electronics at a certified e-scrap recycler like PADNOS helps to reduce the amount of old equipment that is disposed of in landfills, which lessens the resulting damage to the community and environment. In our electronic recycling facility at the PADNOS – at 1862 Alpine Ave, we operate a Quality, Environmental, Health & Safety Management System that complies with the requirements of the RIOS:2016 and R2:2013 standards. The cornerstone of our program is our QEH&S Policy, which describes our commitments to stakeholders.
Why it’s so important to recycle computers, laptops, smartphones and other scrap electronics.
Scrap electronics contain toxic heavy metals and chemicals. Using incinerators or landfills to dispose of these items allows toxic substances to be released into the air and groundwater, creating serious threats to public health and our environment. To ensure that your scrap won’t be dumped, always use a certified electronics recycler who follows media sanitization standards (SERI R2, NIST 800-88) and maintains State DEQ permits to collect and process electronic scrap.
