Cost Cutter #5
Cash In on Computers

       Discarding unwanted computers inappropriately can be expensive. The EPA could fine your company as much as $5000/item (monitor, CPU, etc.) and there are other penalties for throwing items containing toxic materials in the trash. Computers and other electronic equipment contain Lead, Aluminum, Germanium, Gallium, Barium, Tantalum, Indium, Vanadium, Terbium, Beryllium, Europium, Titanium, Ruthenium, Cobalt, Palladium, Manganese, Silver, Antinomy, Bismuth, Chromium, Cadmium, Selenium, Niobium, Yttrium, Rhodium, Platinum, Mercury, Arsenic, Silica and other substances which can have serious environmental consequences.

       Do you have cubicles or rooms stuffed with old computers that could be more productively used for new employees? As an consultant I have seen companies desperate for space with many cubicles full of old computers, printers, monitors, copy machines and other unwanted equipment. This equipment can be donated to Chimorel Services Inc. We will find a home for everything that has realistic useful life and will disassemble and recycle the parts and material for everything else. You eliminate the risk of fines. You protect the environment. You regain valuable space. You get a donation to write off on your taxes. You might even be paid cash for items that have adequate value. If your equipment is old with no value, you reduce a significant fine to a small disposal fee.
