Electronics waste is a rapidly growing concern in our high-tech world. Heavy metals and synthetic materials which do not break down safely are used to make most modern electronics. And while a lot of thought is typically given to functionality, features and price when purchasing new equipment, the need to plan a disposal process for these sophisticated devices can sometimes come as a surprise. This is where Computation’s computer recycling service comes in.
At Computation Ltd., we take great pride in the electronics waste diversion ratio we achieve in recycling electronic devices in Toronto. According to our custom-designed Environmental Management System (EMS), we have successfully reduced the waste emitted from our facility to a level approximating that of a single-family home.
We have been providing businesses, corporations and families with environmentally secure recycling solutions in Toronto and across Canada, in tandem with secure electronic data destruction services, since 2001. These services are essential in delivering a complete solution to clients committed to not only complying with environmental and privacy-related regulations and norms but also staying steps ahead. Our goal is to inspire everyone to recycle their obsolete TVs, PCs, laptops, servers, copiers, routers, switches, printers, phones and other electronics rather than sending them to the landfills.
With Computation Ltd. as your electronics waste manager, you can be confident that your devices will be data-free and diverted from landfills for any business or home electronics recycling process. To learn more about safe secure computer recycling or how we protect your personal data stored away on data hard drives, give us a call today at (416) 629-5667.
Recycling and refurbishing processes take place locally in our Toronto recycling facilities, and in neighbouring provinces and states. We dismantle and recycle electronics equipment unsuitable for reuse for its raw material content. Materials from the dismantled electronics that are considered good for reuse are tested using professional computer software programs. We optimize memory, processor speed and hard drive capacity to rebuild and repair devices.

The issue of securely destroying electronic data to maintain privacy is one that touches us all. As a result, depending on your preference, we either physically destroy your disks or carefully erase your personal and business’ confidential information and files before donating or recycling your desktop PC or laptops. Deleting files, formatting devices or restoring the operating system to factory settings is not sufficient to protect against theft. However, when you drop off your personal or business’ PC, our team uses secure data destruction to eliminate the liability associated with data theft and loss.

FAQs
Businesses, educational institutions and households replace their old desktop computers, laptops, and tablets when these devices become obsolete, become damaged or obsolete. Desktops and laptops contain hazardous materials that need to be properly disposed of. Recycling your computer is the best way to get rid of your old devices safely without harming the environment. The recycling process at Computation Ltd. involves carefully and safely applying the 3Rs (reduced, reused, and recycled – in that order). We shall reuse as much of equipment as is possible, either directly following testing and data destruction, or after any recommended refurbishing. After exhausting the reuse potential, the material will be further sorted, dismantled, and shredded, safely disposing of all toxic elements while isolating various components for future use.
If you’ve decided to recycle your computer or laptop, make sure to back up all your important information. At Computation Ltd. we’ll destroy the data on any hard disks or other media we received for recycling from clients, but, for your own piece of mind, to further ensure the safety of your sensitive information, we do not discourage taking your own efforts to delete all your data after taking a backup.
Computers are made of several materials and chemicals that can be harmful to the environment – they shouldn’t be put into the soil. There are also useful materials (typically metals) present that we should not discard, making use of them can reduce our environment footprint by reducing the need for fresh (virgin) raw materials. If not properly handled, these metals and other hazardous elements could enter the landfill and contaminate the environment. Failure to safely dispose of the computers and laptops could poison the water, pollute the air, or contaminate the soil. Dumping your damaged or useless computer can be harmful to wildlife, as well as plants.
We at Computation Ltd, tailor our electronic recycling process to meet the needs of each client. Please connect with us and one of our representatives will collect the following information:
-The address where the equipment is located, if pick-up required, or corporate contact information, if delivering
-The volume and type of equipment
-Any specific processing, data destruction, or certification requirements
-Desired schedule
Once we get all the needed details and you approve our proposed plan, you can schedule the delivery or pick-up date and time. Your e-waste is transported to our recycling facility for processing. Our computer recycling experts carefully sort items. We figure out which item needs to be audited, have data destroyed, dismantled, recycled, or refurbished. Once the process is complete, you will get a certificate or asset management report.
Households without any reporting requirements can typically deliver “trunkload” volumes to our Toronto facility free of charge, no appointment is needed. For larger volumes, big pieces, pick-ups, or data destruction requirements please contact us.
