Dealing with outdated items like washing machines, and stoves can feel overwhelming. Not only are these large appliances difficult to move, but you may also be unsure about what to do with them once they're loaded up. Instead of simply discarding them, consider the more sustainable option of recycling it, which not only benefits you, but the environment as well!

We often upgrade or replace electronic devices, leading to a buildup of old gadgets. Properly recycling these devices not only helps protect the environment but also ensures you handle your e-waste responsibly. Whether you’re clearing out old smartphones, laptops, or other electronics, here’s a straightforward guide on the dos and don’ts of recycling your personal electronics.

Data Privacy Day is an event that reminds organizations and individuals alike that data protection is a crucial and ongoing effort. Data Privacy Day is celebrated on January 28 every year to honor the introduction of the first binding international treaty, Convention 108, that protected individuals against intrusive data collection and the processing of personal data.

This year for Christmas, Santa will likely be kind enough to bring many of us new electronics of some sort. But what do you do with all of your old electronics now that you have shiny new ones? 

E-waste is a growing issue that needs urgent attention, and e-waste recycling is a solution we all need to practice in return. Recycling starts at home, the office, and anywhere that e-waste exists. And where there is e-waste, there is always potential for e-waste recycling. After all, what makes for better team building than helping out the environment a little?

Data is the currency of your business, can help drive revenue, and can reduce costs and productivity. Every little bit contains a vast amount of personal data that you don’t want falling into the hands of the wrong people. Data doesn’t stop being valuable because it’s on a broken device or stored on a hard drive stacked in a box in the back corner of your server room. Even deleting the files isn’t going to get rid of the data completely. This is why proper data destruction is so important.

The world of medical science is constantly advancing at a breakneck pace, and medical electronics that may have been top of the line a few years ago are now outdated. All of this medical waste starts to pile up and it’s hard to find proper ways to dispose or recycle them. Luckily, Arrow Scrap is here to help. 

Recycling can sometimes be complicated. We’ve all been in a situation where we aren’t quite exactly sure what to do with batteries that no longer hold a charge. No one wants to actively increase their carbon footprint. That’s why Arrow Scrap is here to help with a handy list of what can and cannot be recycled!

E-waste is the mass total of electronics that end up in landfills, or sent to developing countries to be hazardously burned and processed in order to extract bits of gold and other precious metals. These electronics that are thrown away rather than recycled or reused end up leaching toxic elements like chromium and mercury into the environment, negatively impacting humans, plants and animals.

Throwing a community recycling collection day is a great way to encourage those around you to reduce the amount of salvageable scrap that gets thrown into landfills–especially when it comes to clunky pieces of technology that take effort to dispose of properly. 

You can make your community feel good about retiring old IT equipment–as well as make it easy for them–by partnering with Arrow to throw an E-waste recycling event.

While your first inclination might be to hire a professional or a company to destroy data, you first have to have your in-house process buttoned up.

You need to know your end goals, what your company stores locally vs what is stored on your hard drives. Provided you have a staff, you also need to know what’s on their phones, laptops, desktops or tablets. What about customer or patient data? Also, if you regularly print, those files existed somewhere before.

Whether you run and office or a household or maybe both, we all have one thing in common – we all create electronic waste.
Appliances, old or outdated computers and cell phones all add up. And all too often they pile up in landfills.

January 28th marks Data Privacy Day, an annual event held in order to promote both data privacy and best practices for protecting your critical data.
So this is an excellent time to get ahead of the risks that compromised data can present to a business.

There’s nothing quite like the holidays. The gifts. The lights. Egg nog. Well, maybe not egg nog but we all love the holiday season. Unfortunately, like with anything, all those celebrations, big and small, create waste. From lights and batteries to the electronics you’re about to replace, you’re probably sitting on a pile of stuff that you may or may not know can and should be recycled. We’ve got some ideas on how to keep the good spirits going by recycling.

When you think of metal, you think of iron, or steel, maybe copper. But
you may not know that all metals fall into one of two categories:
Ferrous or Non-Ferrous. So what’s the difference? We’ve got you covered.

If you have scrap left over from a job, you may have been told you can get a veritable goldmine for it. And while that might be true, knowing the going rates, how prices are determined and what you can really expect to receive can go a long way in ensuring that you aren’t disappointed with your haul.

For years, our economy worked in a linear way. Simply put, good were produced, sold, used and eventually discarded, typically ending up in a landfill.

But as demand has grown along with our reliance on plastics, metals and other materials that don’t easily degrade, landfills, well…became filled. And waste materials made their way into the ocean and created other environmental hazards. We are a consumer culture that buys more clothes and wears them for shorter and shorter durations and buy more and more appliances and technology that lasts or remains relevant for less and less time.

It’s time to hit the beach, grab a cold one, or have a backyard barbecue. But you know what time it is? It’s time to scrap.

Many of the items that come to mind when you think of summer can be scrapped to be both environmentally responsible and to put some cash in your pocket.

Whether you went on a year-end spending spree for the latest electronics for your business or simply need to replace or decommission old and outdated equipment, recycling your electronics is a great idea. But it’s important to know the proper way to dispose of it and why it’s so important in the first place.
