It's reported that over 4 million computers become obsolete each year. Of those 4,000,000 only a fraction are recycled, reused or refurbished. Subtractions, LLC has been recycling computers for nearly a decade and can help you manage your obsolete electronics ... Computers contain materials that should not be disposed in landfills. In an article published by the U.S. Geological Survey, Thomas Kelly and Donald Bleiwas noted, "The metals contained in PC's commonly include aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, palladium, selenium, silver and zinc. Eight of those metals (shown in bolded type) are listed as hazardous by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), one of the Federal laws that control the disposition of waste in the United States. This law prohibits companies from incinerating some types of electronic scrap or disposing of it into municipal landfills." (Source: U.S. Department of the Interior / U.S.G.S. Fact Sheet FS-060-01 (July 2001)).
