With Advanced Recovery, Inc. du Canada, conveniently located in Quebec, Montreal you have a worry-free alternative to environmental liability.

While the rapid advances in technology have raised productivity to an all-time high, the life cycle of computer and electronic equipment has dwindled down to as little as two years. Sooner or later, this obsolete equipment ends up as "high-tech trash" in a landfill - a permanent rest stop on the information superhighway. And each year, 10 million PCs, workstations and mainframes are being added to landfills.

But the story doesn't end there, and neither does your liability. For example, the cathode ray tubes (CRTs) in your discarded computer monitors contain traces of lead, phosphorous, cadmium and mercury. These hazardous materials are sealed away to protect users, but they will seep out in a landfill once the CRT is broken, and eventually find their way into a public water supply.

Advanced Recovery, Inc. du Canada is a recycling company dedicated to meeting the environmental challenges of the future with a world-class organization. We provide recycling services to manufacturers, developers, governments and financial institutions. In fact, we've developed a proprietary two-step process that refines the hazardous materials from the CRT glass for reuse in other industrial applications.

Recycling over 200 tons of equipment monthly over 400,000 lbs. of computer equipment is "dumped" at our facility each month. We salvage circuit boards, print heads, semiconductors and other valuable scrap materials and reclaim precious and semiprecious metals. Specializing in the palladium groups, our precious metals refining service offers the highest prices for everything from electronic scrap, coins, and dental metals to jewelry and film scrap.

We also ship computer equipment to Third World countries that are just now entering the information age - including China and Russia. We remarket ICs worldwide as well. This includes DIPs, EPROM, PCMCIA, SIPP & DRAM. If you have surplus new and used ICs, simply fax us a list of the ICs you have, and we'll provide you with a quote.

If we don't salvage materials for reuse, or export them, we recycle them for use in other products. These include glass, plastics, steel, aluminum and copper wire…everything from the tiniest bolt to the entire plastic casing. In fact, 99.97% (be weight) of every machine is reused. We also offer complete disassembly service for mainframes, PCs, copiers and other electronic equipment.

When it comes to providing recycling services, the experience and reputation of Advanced Recovery, Inc. du Canada is second to none. In most cases, we'll even pay you for your excess computer and electronic equipment (excluding CRTs) - up to $0.05/lb. In addition, we'll purchase your working equipment for a fair market value.
