The Basel Action Network is pleased to announce that the non-profit environmental watchdog has recognized Global Environmental Services, LLC of Georgetown, KY as an e-Steward™ electronics recycler, a designation awarded to North American electronics recyclers and asset managers who have been qualified as upholding the highest standard of environmental and social responsibility. “We congratulate Global Environmental Services on passing our rigorous review,” says Jim Puckett, BAN’s Executive Director. “The public and GES’s customers can feel confident that, unlike most of the electronics recycling industry, Global Environmental Services does not use dumping, prison labor, or poor laborers in developing countries to process e-waste. It is an expensive and complex process to recycle electronics so the poisonous byproducts do not hurt people or the planet. In an industry rife with fraud and false claims, only e-Stewards can prove they are responsible and ethical.”

Contrary to the practice espoused by James Durie of the FBI in a recent PBS-TV “Frontline World” exposé on electronic waste, smashing a hard drive with a hammer will not destroy data from a discarded computer. Digitally encoded data resides deep within the drive on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces; cybercriminals can take just a small piece of that platter and use algorithms to dissect valuable personal, professional, and financial information.
