E-Waste Management - Zero Waste-To-Landfill

E-waste is the fastest growing part of the U.S. garbage stream. According to Time Magazine, Americans throw out more than 350,000 cell phones and 130,000 computers every day. Improperly disposed of, the lead, mercury and other toxic materials inside e-waste can leak from landfills and pollute communities. American Eagle Systems offers a range of solutions for all your specific e-recycling needs in compliance with all Federal, State and Local Regulations pertaining to the handling of electronic waste and hazardous waste materials encountered in your day-to-day business.
