equipment and we do the rest.
We guarantee your equipment will not end up in a
landfill, overseas, or for resale.

Working together for responsible
solutions:
While computers are safe to use,
they do contain some environmentally sensitive materials,
such as, lead, printed circuit boards and complex
circuitry that contains lead, chromium, silver and
other metals like mercury, vapor tubes, mercury
switches, batteries: nickel-cadmium, lithium or
sealed lead acid types. These materials can
be safely removed or recycled, but only if we all
work to dispose of these products responsibly. GIVES
Inc., and Mountain Recyclers are committed to responsible
solutions for reusing and recycling of unwanted
computers.
