RECYCLING

Electrum has been active in the business of recycling solder, precious metals and base metals for more than 28 years, in particular material generated by the electronic manufacturing industry.

Our years of experience in electronics have contributed to our understanding of the different manufacturing operations and the specific items generated for recycling.

In addition to our core recycling business. . . . . . . . . . solder and precious metals, we also process many lower value recyclables. Our willingness to receive and recycle these marginally profitable items is a response to customer requests for a total recycling package, namely:

An Environmentally Safe Program
A Comprehensive Recycling Package (Recycling is more beneficial than disposal and is necessary for ISO 14001.)
Prompt, personal and efficient customer service

The benefit is a recycling program with one (1) vendor, which is cost effective and provides tremendous value for the generator.
