Electronics Recycling
When electronics are received at Millennium Recycling, they begin the recycling process. The first step is determining whether any part of the unit, or the unit itself, is fit to be refurbished or remarketed.
Remarketing and Reuse
Remarketing is the preferred method of electronics recycling. All items (monitors, televisions, printers, CPUs, scanners, keyboards, DVD players, etc.) are tested to determine diagnostic quality. We will be able to determine whether the machinery is working, and to what extent it is able to operate. To avoid access to any proprietary data, all hard drives and storage systems are wiped in accordance to Department of Defense standards defined in DOD 5220.22. Millennium uses EBAN which has 2 primary features: network wiping & automated reporting. EBAN is a proven product with units of code that have been used millions of times. This method exceeds the compliance requirements of DOD, HIPPA, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Remarketable items may be sold or donated.
If an asset cannot be remarketed, some usable parts may be extracted for reuse or resale as individual parts or in systems that are remarketed. What remains from a parted asset is then directed for destruction.
Demanufacture and Destruction
What is not fit for resale, or those assets customers wish to be destroyed will proceed through this process. This process involves the complete tear down and total destruction of assets, recovering and recycling metals, plastics, and glass used in the production of the components. It also will provide for proper hazardous waste processing if necessary by licensed third party processors. Demanufacture and destruction will be carried out pursuant to the Millennium Recycling Environmental Stewardship Pledge.
