Our Ecycling Processes

What Is E-Cycling?

The term E-Cycling refers to Electronic Recycling - the environmentally friendly and cost-effective disposal of unwanted, obsolete information technology equipment.

The U.S. National Recycling Coalition projects that by 2008 the average North American personal computer will be replaced every two years, and at least 500 million workstations will be obsolete. This is a significant problem. Computers, like many other electronic devices, contain hazardous materials, including lead and mercury, so their responsible disposal is a becoming increasingly important.

Computer and I.T. equipment recycling is achieved in many ways. Still an evolving industry,

it is characterized by the following processes. Equipment is:

* Reconditioned, upgraded and reused

* Demanufactured to subsystem levels and specific parts reused

* Demanufactured to component levels and basic materials recovered

At Dominion Business Machines we work with several industry partners who provide utmost efforts to adhere to the recommendations of the Basel Convention and environmentally responsible E-Cycling standards. We make every effort to oversee the maximum reuse and recycling, well over 95 per cent) of all equipment and materials we handle.

We have been involved in the recycling and reuse of office equipment ever since our company was started over one hundred years ago. Throughout the twentieth century we have recycled all kinds of office equipment for Clients such as the City of Toronto, The Canadian Armed Forces, The Salvation Army, University of Toronto, and Goodwill Services.

We diverted more than 400,000 Kilograms, (800,000 Pounds) of unwanted electronics from

the waste stream and into recycling and reuse programs in 2006

Our E-cycling Services

E-cycling projects both large and small normally begin with an assessment of equipment

that is no longer needed, whether it be a few computers in a small office, or

a large number of workstations and servers in a corporate client, municipal or

healthcare facility.

Onsite Inventory and Assessment

At Dominion we help Clients realize the maximum value of unwanted I.T. Assets through brokered resale, demanufacturing, even Tax and Donation advice.

We work closely with Client I.T. Teams to offer maximum benefits for equipment under consideration.

Removal and Logistics

Once a project is undertaken the Dominion E-Cycling team will attend onsite, oversee or assist sorting and demanufacturing, including hard drive removals, then assist with staging, loading

and transportation.

Care is taken to minimize the impact on a Client's work environment, and

our removal schedules are often coordinated with the deployment of new equipment.

Certificates of Disposal/Destruction

Dominion Business Machines can provide written and auditable records describing

equipment removed, shipping trails, data destruction, and other Ecycling Processes.

Data Destruction/Assumptions of Liability

Strict security guidelines exist for many organizations regarding data stored on decommissioned computers and hard drive subsystems. At Dominion Business Machines we advise clients of appropriate industry and even military level data destruction standards and practises, and we assist in their implementation.

Our Data Destruction and E-Cycling Clients include financial, government,

and health care organizations who routinely handle sensitive information.

We have never experienced an incident of unauthorized data retrieval or misuse.

Custom E-Cycling Projects

At Dominion Business Machines we realize that the replacement and disposal needs

of organizations vary. We are proud of the way we approach each project:

consulting and working closely with the I.T. teams of small business, corporate, institutional

and municipal clients. If and when special services are required we are happy to

provide them.

If you are thinking about throwing unwanted computers or information technology equipment

into the garbage please contact us first. No matter how large or small your company or office,

we will be happy to help you with your E-cycling needs.
