Frequently Asked Questions

We are open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

We no longer resell computer equipment, but if you are looking for gently used electronics, we have partnered with computerparts.com and they may have what you’re looking for. Their inventory is always changing, so it is a good idea to check their website frequently. They have helped many individuals, students, small businesses, and even IT departments with hard-to-find items.

Firstly, recycling, in general, is just good practice. Electronics contain materials that are hazardous to the environment which in turn is unhealthy for people. Secondly, in most states, including Indiana, throwing your electronics away in a landfill is illegal due to the hazardous materials that all electronics contain.

• Lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants are among the substances of concern in electronics. These substances are included in electronic products for important performance characteristics but can cause problems if the products are not properly managed at end of life.
• Lead is used in glass in TV and monitor cathode ray tubes (CRTs), as well as solder and interconnects. Older CRTs typically contain on average 4 lbs. of lead and sometimes as much as 7 lbs. of lead, while newer CRTs contain closer to 2 lbs. of lead.
• Mercury is used in small amounts in bulbs to light flat panel computer monitors, TVs, and notebooks.
• Brominated flame retardants are widely used as a fire retardant in plastic cases and cables. The more problematic ones have been phased out of newer products but remain in older products.
• Cadmium was widely used in Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries for laptops and other portables. Newer batteries (nickel-metal hydride and lithium ion) do not contain cadmium.
• Visit the EPA’s website that contains this and a lot more information on recycling.
