A  NO.  Each item that cannot be remarketed is transported to a R2 compliant shredding facility.  Once received, the items are shredded and the materials are then separated and sold as a commodity.  This is the surest way to close the loop on recycling and make sure that items don't end up in landfills or pollute other natural resources.

 

Q  Are my computers too old to recycle?
