Computer Recycling & Electronics in Deux-Montagnes

Having reached the end of their life or become obsolete, electronic and computer equipment is waste that must be treated with care. Indeed, the management of this equipment requires to follow a strict procedure so that its residues do not represent a threat to the environment. However, conventional household garbage bins are not intended to accommodate this type of waste.

To be able to get rid of it, it is better to contact professionals specialized in the management of electronic and computer waste. These companies have the mission to collect, sort and recycle your used computer and electronic equipment. Are you looking for a range of recycling services in Quebec, more specifically in the city of Deux-Montagnes? Would you like to use an IT recycling professional or an electronic recovery company? You’re at the right address.

Recycle, the best option for our electronic and it waste

In the case of computer equipment such as computers, there will be precious materials such as copper, gold and aluminum, but also heavy metals such as lead and mercury that are particularly harmful to health and the environment.

Yet, if properly processed, these elements can be recovered for the design of new electronic devices, which represents a considerable economic and energy gain in terms of production loads.

Computer recycling in Deux-Montagnes: the case of each component

To treat your electronic waste in the most appropriate way, our service offers the electronic recycling of the components of your equipment

Motherboard

The motherboard is a printed circuit board that supports all the essential components of the PC: internal hard drive, RAM, sound card, video card… It also manages the input of peripherals such as the keyboard, computer mouse, or monitor. The motherboard is therefore the centerpiece of the computer.

To ensure electrical flow and data transfer, this component has several tracks made from recoverable conductive materials such as gold. In addition, the motherboard itself is fully recyclable.

Pci

The PCI card is a device that connects the expansion cards to the motherboard. In other words, it is the “multiple take” of the additional components of the computer. Thus, to improve the performance of a laptop, you can connect one or two additional RAM strips or a WIFI device to upgrade the PC for example.

The PCI card is rather compact and robust. It can be recycled without problems or maintained before integrating a new computer. In the event that the component is obsolete or irreparable, the building materials of the board can be recovered.

RAM and Hard Drive

Random Access Memory (RAM) allows the processor to quickly run the launch of a program. If we draw the parallel with our brain, RAM corresponds to the “short-term” memory of the PC, because the data is kept for a very limited time.

The hard disk corresponds to the medium where the ROM (Read Only Memory) memory is stored. With reference to “long-term” memory, it saves data in such a way that it can be stored for a long time. When processing hard drives, they are destroyed in order to maintain the confidentiality of the data it contained.

Processor

Located on the motherboard, the processor or CPU is the component that ensures all the exchanges and processing of data. Without it, the PC cannot function, because no tasks are executed. The CPU plays an executor role: it obeys the commands of the applications that are launched. To be efficient, the processor can have one to several cores. Each core is able to run a program independently. Thus, the more cores a processor has, the more powerful the computer is.

Processor recycling consists of processing the materials that compose it in order to limit the negative environmental impact of the component.
