Hazardous Waste Recycling

Welcome to Reboot Tech, your trusted partner for hazardous waste recycling. We are committed to helping you safely dispose of items that can harm the environment. Let’s work together to keep our planet clean and safe.

Hazardous waste can pose serious risks to both the environment and human health. For instance, improperly disposed batteries can leak harmful chemicals like lead and cadmium into the soil and water. Did you know that one improperly discarded battery can contaminate thousands of gallons of water? Similarly, paints and solvents can release toxic fumes and pollutants. A simple spill of motor oil can create a large, lasting impact on wildlife and ecosystems. It’s crucial to handle these items responsibly.

Note that this is not a complete list of hazardous e-waste, so if your device contains any of the following, it is generally considered hazardous e-waste. Mercury-containing devices: This includes items like mercury switches, relays, and certain older thermostats. Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) in general: Other types of equipment such as CRT-based medical devices or industrial equipment may also contain hazardous materials. Certain electronic components: Some older electronic devices may contain hazardous substances like cadmium, beryllium, or lead. Examples include certain capacitors, resistors, and relays.

Microwave ovens made mostly of plastic don’t have to follow the rules for major appliances under the Metallic Discards Act.

A recycler specializing in used electronic devices can take apart these microwave ovens, whether or not they have materials of concern inside.
