Your equipment can have economic value either through resale or through recovery. However, if improperly handled, lead, mercury, and other solid wastes in the equipment represent a significant environmental hazard and potential economic as well as legal liability.

HOBI has developed a processing system that insures all hazardous & non-hazardous materials are recovered and processed in an environmentally sound manner. HOBI has inspected and selected hazardous & non-hazardous materials processing sub-contractors that are leaders in their respective fields. HOBI's staff has sought to design processes that go beyond compliance, seeking best practices in the processing of hazardous & non-hazardous materials found in electronic products and their packaging. In addition, HOBI's engineering team has pursued a leadership role in the area of public education on issues surrounding electronics and their impact on the environment.
