While we do want to do our best to take care of all of your junk disposal needs, hazardous materials are not something we can take care of for you. If you are unsure of what we mean by hazardous materials we have explained each category below.There are three types of hazardous materials. The first is nonspecific source waste. These include waste from an industrial process or common manufacturing. They include solvents used for cleaning purposes and decreasing operations. For homeowners these include household chemicals and solvents, paints, oils and other hazardous waste.
The second type of hazardous materials are specific wastes. These include wastes that are specific to certain industries. They include petroleum refining and pesticide manufacturing. Waste waters and sludge from a production process also fall under the source specific waste category.The third category is commercial chemical products. These are chemical products that are in an unused form. When discarded, pharmaceutical products and some pesticides become hazardous waste as well.Because any of these categories of waste can be very harmful to the environment and even harmful to our team we are unable to discard them for you. However, there are hazardous waste transportation services and/or drop-off depots. These are either offered by the city or by a private contractor who will help move the waste from one site to another. Depending on the toxicity of the waste it may be removed by highway, water, railway or air. The waste will be taken to a facility that can recycle, treat and dispose of it.
Luckily, many industrial hazardous wastes are able to be recycled. This can be done effectively and safely so that the waste is able to be reused or reclaimed. Recycling hazardous waste helps reduce the consumption of raw materials. This results in less water, air and soil pollution that comes from extracting and refining raw materials. This also helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gas into the environment. When these types of materials are recycled it actually takes less energy than if hazardous materials were to be prepared for being dumped.For big corporations hazardous waste recycling is not only good for the environment it’s also very cost-effective. Recycling helps increase production efficiency and reduces the cost of new raw materials that would have to be purchased.
How do you know if your waste is hazardous? It will fall into one of the three categories mentioned above and will have a characteristic of toxicity, corrosively or reactivity.Instead of wondering and worrying about whether or not you have hazardous wastes to dispose of it is best to call your city and ask them to direct you to someone who can help you. Solid wastes are not necessarily hazardous wastes and the process of determining whether or not your waste is in fact hazardous can be a little confusing. Put your mind at ease and give your city a call. They will be able to either schedule a pickup or direct you to a location where you can drop off your waste.
With all the increasing incidences of identity theft and fraud in large urban centers like Toronto, in order to protect all of your sensitive personal information, there are some simple steps that should be taken before you decide to have an e-waste removal company take away your hard drives. This will give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your information is not floating around in cyber-space for everyone to see.
Many people believe that if they delete files and then clear out the recycle bin that all of the information is gone. That is simply not so. Many e-waste removal companies will explain exactly why if you ask them, but in a nutshell, if a person who has a data recovery program were to get their hands on your computer, it is possible that they would be able to recover some or all of your data files. For those who have inputted their credit card numbers, this can cause numerous problems since there is a good chance that if you have ever done some shopping online your browser may have saved this information in a cached file. What this means is that your sensitive credit card data is out there just waiting for some unscrupulous person to reel it back in.Before contacting an e-waste removal company, it is in your best interest to assume that there is sensitive data on your hard drive and that you should follow the steps below to protect yourself:
Begin by saving all of your data to a flash drive or USB. Copy absolutely everything!If you do not have one already you will need to download a free copy of DBAN (Darik’s Boot and Nuke). Choose the file that is for CD and DVD media.Next you need to burn a copy of the DBAN CD in your computer. Start your burning program and choose the option that allows for the burning of images. If your program does not allow for images to be burnt, ImgBurn can be downloaded for free (look for the 2.4.0.0 version).
Once you have successfully burned a copy of DBAN, place the disc into the computer’s drive and restart it. To start in interactive mode simply press enter. In the next screen look for “Disks and Partitions”. Once you find the name of your hard disk manufacturer make sure that every box has been “checked” so that all of the hard drives will be erased.
Pressing F10 will begin the wiping process. It can take hours so be prepared to wait. Once the program has finished running, simply take the disk out and shut down the computer.
Keep in mind that even though the hard drive has been wiped and erased, there is only one full proof method of making sure that no information is retrievable — destroying the hard drive. In order to do this before e-waste removal, simply take the hard drive out of the computer and physically destroy it. Then it can simply be placed in your regular garbage and put to the curb for pickup in Toronto.
