Refurbishing the good ones

Makes recycling the junk less expensive

 
 

Good Point Recycling - Computer and TV Refurbishment

 

Most Americans (85%) would prefer to pay an affordable $5-10 to see their old equipment "go to a new home" than to throw it away for free.

 

Good Point Recycling of Vermont uses refurbishment and resale to make recycling more affordable.   It costs Good Point Recycling about $6 to crush and recycle a bad computer monitor.  But when a few working or repairable monitor can be sold for $18, that 20% diversion can lower the cost of recycling 10 monitors by 80%  

      -$60     The cost of destroying/recycling 10 monitors

      + 12     The avoided recycling cost from diverting 2 monitors

      + 36     Income from the resale of 2 $18 monitors

      -$12     a savings of 80% from a diversion of 20%

This “80-20” Rule has been applied with success by Good Point Recycling and ElectroniCycle Inc.  Vermont and Massachusetts refurbishment and resale programs make recycling the bad monitors more affordable.  This type of program can be jeopardized by flow-control programs.  If we are mandated to send equipment back to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), we may not be able to resell their good old equipment.
