Green Penguin has created multiple partnerships with city groups in the last few months with plans of playing a significant role in Rhode Island's team effort to create and maintain sustainability by promoting reduce, reuse, and recycling of every city's electronics waste.
Electronic equipment contains toxic materials, including lead, cadmium, and mercury that may leak into the soil and ground water when disposed of in landfills, which is now illegal in the state of Rhode Island. Green Penguin, Inc. strives to keep these and other materials found in electronic products, including precious and non-precious metals and plastics, out of landfills. Most electronic components can now be reused, recycled, and diverted from the waste stream. For example, approximately 90 percent of computer contents can be reused or recycled.
Green Penguin provides data destruction, asset recovery, and environmentally-responsible e-waste disposal. Green Penguin's "No Landfill" policy ensures responsible disposal of all electronics including, but not limited to laptops, desktops, servers and phone equipment. Green Penguin takes its "No Landfill" policy very seriously.

Green Penguin Inc. - committed to reducing the volume of e-waste and its resulting impact on our environment and world.
