Introducing E-Waste Program
Sustainability is not just a catchy phrase or an abstract concept. It is a process which consists of small steps toward a greener tomorrow. We believe that it starts with little things like recycling your trash and not wasting energy. Electronic waste or e-waste is a huge contributor to pollution of our environment. Environmental Protection Agency or EPA states that electronic waste contributes nearly seventy percent of the toxins found in our landfills. E-waste has many toxic materials including lead, mercury, cadmium, phosphors and flame-retardants. By recycling your electronics waste you decrease energy and water use, reduce pollution, and keep hazardous chemicals out of our air and water.
In addition to harmful impact on the environment, the New York State has passed a law making it illegal to throw out electronics in trash starting January 1st 2015. Starting this date, a business must contact a manufacturer of the electronic equipment for instructions on how to dispose of the e-waste. The other option is to request a specialized e-waste collector to pick it up. Obviously, these services will not come cheap.
This is where we come in. If you upgrade your point of sale system through us, we pick up your old system and properly dispose of it for free. By doing so, not only you help eliminate unnecessary polution, but also save time and money disposing of this equipment yourself.
Why we do it? You may ask. Well, our commitment to our customers is to continue to innovate. Integral part of every innovation is to create better and healthy environment. By utilizing our e-waste program, you make our world just a little bit greener.
