ASL was started in 1998 as an asset services company reselling high
tech equipment and managing IT assets for large corporations in the
Silicon Valley. When the state of California passed the Recycling Act
of 2003 and California SB20 legislation, ASL made a natural progression
to providing a FREE and CONVENIENT electronic waste recycling program
to businesses and consumers. Today ASL acts as both a state authorized
collector and recycler of electronic waste.
Every month ASL prevents approximately 600 tons of e-waste from being
dumped in local landfills and is recycling 98%of the material that comes
through the facility. Computers, cell phones, televisions and other
electronic components have changed the way we gather information, seek
entertainment, and stay connected with friends and family, and our colleagues
and clients.
They are helping reshape the global economy and our individual identities
but, the increasing demands for the newest, fastest, smallest, electronics
has significantly reduced the lifecycle of these devises. Therefore,
we as a community need to take responsibility for the proper disposal
of our ever growing e-waste.
