We at Arlington Virginia Computer Repair take our responsibility to be environmentally sound seriously. Our goal is to have the smallest negative impact possible on the world around us.
Computers contain toxic materials that need to be carefully handled when they must be repaired or disposed of.
We handle every case with care and work to reduce electronic waste that ends up in landfills through e-cycling (electronics recycling). This helps to decrease mercury, lead and cadmium from polluting the environment.
Paper, metal, plastic and other materials are recycled. Vegetable, fruit and yard scraps as well as biodegradable packaging and some non-toxic paper products are composted for use in our organic garden and tree nursery once they break down. We try to stop our contribution to landfills as much as we can.
Arlington Virginia Computer Repair uses eco-friendly products and services, such as recycled paper, alternative energy offsets (for our electricity), CFL bulbs, natural cleaning agents as well as energy efficient computers and appliances. Because we are a home-based business we also maintain a minimal carbon footprint.
Our aim is to utilize less toxic (or non-toxic) and energy efficent computer parts whenever possible while maintaining the highest standard of quality. Energy efficient computers tend to run cooler and waste less power which translates to a longer lasting computer and saving some money on your power bill. It's also worth noting that computer parts which don't use toxic metals are of the same or better quality than their predecessors.
Repairing your computer is an eco-friendly decision and it can be practical, too. Having your computer fixed can help to reduce the need for environmentally expensive resources. Many computers are worth repairing if the cost is less than buying a new one.
If you need help with your computer or have a question about our services please contact us and we'll be happy to help you.
