E-Cycling strategies make a difference in choosing a commercial mover.
One of the growing trends over the past few years has been recycling electronic equipment or “E-cycling”. Equipment like computer monitors, printers, networking gear, and televisions are popping up in landfills, garbage dumps or more often than not just left in an office after a commercial move is complete. In 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 26 to 37 million computers became obsolete. Along with computers, TVs, VCRs, cell phones, and monitors—an estimated 304 million electronics—were removed from US households.
Understanding how e-cycling affects your office move is another way you receive added value from your moving partner. Your moving partner can help you better identify e-cycling strategies and the best way to provide electronic end-of-life management solutions. Today, everyone is conscience of the environment and the amount of carbon footprint your business may leave behind after a move. Providing guidance on e-cycling is another part of the planning process lets you understand all the steps required for the the move from beginning to end.
Here is a link to a fact sheet published by the EPA that helps provide a more detailed overview of management of electronic waste in the United States.
