Quicksilver Recycling

Hazardous Components

The landfill disposal of electronic waste is being discouraged and may soon be banned. Businesses already must comply with RCRA regulations in place when managing their unwanted electronics.

It has been established that cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are hazardous by TCLP for lead. CRTs are found in monitors, TVs and other electronic test equipment. (Click here for more information on CRTs.)

Most electronic items have circuit boards. Circuit boards in most cases contain leaded solder and silver.

Mercury wetted relays and switches and batteries containing cadmium and lead can also be present as well as PCBs in the older transformers and capacitors. Quicksilver Recycling Services stays abreast of the regulations on these hazardous items and the proper disposal options thereby providing you with a secure, environmentally sound option for the recycling of your electronic components.
