Do you have unused electrical or electronic devices at home? Do not throw them in the household waste, Potomac eCycle specializes in electronics recycling and will process them to make sure that every usable part and component is saved from the landfill to help to conserve natural resources. We also make sure that all personal information is destroyed beyond recovery.


Electronic equipment often contains elements of various potentially toxic materials, including heavy metals such as gold, silver, lead, mercury, cadmium, barium, and chromium. It is clearly beneficial to prevent these potentially hazardous materials from being put into landfills, where they can cause damage to the soil structure, the atmosphere, and the water table. If some of the component parts can be sold or reused in the manufacture of new products, that is an even better solution than just recovering the materials.Potomac eCycle will recycle them to make sure that every usable part and component is saved from the landfill.

E-mining: Precious Metals in E-waste

E-mining and Precious Metals Recycling Every year billions of dollars’ worth of precious metals such as gold and platinum are dumped into a mountain of electronic waste (e-waste) that continues to grow. E-mining is the process of recovering some of these precious metals. In 2019 alone a record-breaking 54 million tons of e-waste was generated across the globe and only 17% was recycled. E-waste comprises precious metals like gold, copper, silver, and palladium found in electronic devices like computers, phones, modems, and more and it is growing three times faster than the earth’s population. Why Electronics Recycling is Important It is critically important to recycle electronics to reduce landfill, divert electronic waste, and eliminate toxic scrap, and they represent almost 70% of toxic waste. E-mining delivers a substantially richer resource than extracting virgin material from ore. Each year, over 7,500 tons of silver and more than 320 tons of gold are used to make electr...

Upcycling Electronics Instead of Recycling

In a society where we regularly change gadgets and electronics as new electronics debut in the market, we end up generating a lot of e-waste that needs to be recycled or disposed of ethically. Electronic items that are salvageable are usually repaired and refurbished for reuse, while those beyond repair are dismantled and their data destroyed before recycling to harvest their components and valuable metals. Recycling of waste is a familiar concept to everyone, but what about upcycling electronics? This is a process where old products are turned into reusable items or materials. With a little ingenuity, end of life items can be repurposed to create new products. Often these will be the result of upcycling craft ideas in the home. Why are Upcycling and Recycling so Important? We all contribute to some form of e-waste, whether it is replacing an old laptop with a new one or buying a new smartphone every few years and discarding the old one. All too often these redundant electron...
