Electronics Recycling - Why use Valley City?

Valley City Environmental Services is a licensed Large Quantity Universal Waste Handler - DNRE Permit MID981956063 ensuring responsible management of electronics recycling using industry best practices including reuse, domestic disassembly and commodity recycling.

End-of-life equipment, nonworking electronics too costly for repair or equipment that is too old for reuse require proper disposal as a Universal Waste. Electronics contain hazards from toxic heavy metals. Lead is the largest contributor to this problem and is found in the solder used on circuit boards. There is also 4 - 8 pounds of lead in each television and monitor CRT (cathode ray tube). Other heavy metals include mercury, cadmium and chromium. Flame retardant chemicals are also present in the plastic housings.
