AOK Computer Recycling does not export. The point of recycling is to preserve our environment. Exportation of metals is detrimental to the planet in two ways:

1. Remanufacture and New Manufacture are most ecologically sound when materials are indigenous or harvested near points of use.
2. Exported metals land in less developed countries for cheap labor tear down. These communities are NOT equipped to deal with toxic processing by-products and are inadvertently destroying their own habitats.

Environmentally Responsible chain of action is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Reuse

Re-sell surplus computers. By making surplus computers available to employees at nominal rates, an organization can provide a low-cost benefit to its workforce or enable staff to work at home using equipment that is familiar to them. Reuse reduces the amount of toxic and hazardous substances that may enter the environment through disposal. By extending the useful life of products energy and raw materials needed to manufacture new products are conserved which reduces the pollution associated with energy use and manufacturing..

Electronic Waste disposal by Households- Although televisions and computer monitors are classified as hazardous waste by the EPA, electronic equipment generated as waste by a household is not subject to federal or state regulation as hazardous waste.
