In order to answer this question we must first look at why recycling exists. Recycling exists for the sheer necessity to preserve the functionality, growth, and future of the human race. We all are quite well aware that resources such as gold, gems, oil, coal, and more are all finite and limited resources. These resources once tapped completely will be decimated forever. One way to ensure these resources are available for human needs in the future is to reduce the quantity used in current products.
We can reduce the quantity of these finite resources in consumer and industrial goods and products; but, what should be done about those products that are in existence yet are no longer functional or practical. This is where recycling of old, broken, or obsolete materials comes into play. Older materials utilize more of the scarce resources available than more current and efficient products. A responsibly recycled computer from ten to fifteen years ago could in theory provide the rare and limited resources to build exponentially more efficient and newer products. Recycling for the purpose of producing new products is one of the reasons to responsibly recycle.

Another reason recycling exists is to preserve the current climate, environment, and health of the planet and its inhabitants. Landfills while necessary at this stage of human existence are becoming more and more unnecessary for items which can be recycled responsibly. Landfills have a limited space, and typically items that should be recycled take an infinitely long amount of time to break down, causing the landfill to fill faster. Health and safety is yet another reason to recycle as there are many carcinogens and poisonous materials found within many recyclable products. To prevent these toxic materials from leaching into the soil and water table, we must recycle these materials.

Now that we have established the reasons and the need to recycle, we can begin to explain why Computer Crusher Recycling LLC exists in the first place. Computer Crusher Recycling (CCRC) was established to simplify the recycling process for businesses and residents alike. It is quite easy to take a computer to a designated recycling facility, but it leaves many questions.
- What happens to my data?
- Who has access to my data?
- Will my materials be shipped over-seas?
- Will you reuse my hard drive?
The confident and secure answers to these questions and more lay within the core that is Computer Crusher Recycling LLC. CCRC was established as “the secure way to recycle your computer electronics.” We began our company by being the first in the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex area to provide a definitive answer to the data security questions. CCRC began offering on site physical hard drive destruction for its customers. This put a stake in the questions of what happens to my data or who has access to it. Clients and customers data would be physically destroyed before we even left their facility. This allowed the customers to confidently know their data, their customer’s data, or personal family information could not be compromised while still allowing them to confidently recycle their e-waste.

With all the data accounted for and secure CCRC can now begin the recycling process to make what was once old new again. We begin with a detailed check in process which allows us to notify the customer exactly what equipment was removed from their facility. The equipment is then graded in as either reuse or recycle. Reusing materials allows us to extend the life cycle of products, reducing the need for new products, which in turn reduces the need for future products to inevitably be recycled. Recycled products are sorted and torn down by technicians with their components sorted by type. Once the materials are sorted they are processed for the rare materials which will ultimately be reused in raw material form to produce new products for businesses and consumers. All materials are sorted under a zero landfill policy and handled under ISO and EPA oversight.
It can be said with the utmost confidence that Computer Crusher Recycling LLC exists for the following statement:
The SECURE way to recycle your computer electronics.
