Other products that can be refurbished (i.e. ink cartridges, toner cartridges, cell phones) are tagged for reuse and shipped off. The computers (CPUs) are taken to EWM's facility in San Leandro where they are disassembled. The outside metal casing is sent to SIMS Metal located in Richmond, CA. for reuse. The hard drives are either "Government Wiped" or destroyed depending on the unit. Other internal components (i.e. memory sticks, mother boards) are evaluated for reuse or "End of Life" recycling.
