 Our Computer End-of-Life Recycling
Policy
Approved by...
In
accordance with Texas House Bill 2714 (Texas Computer Recycling Law)
enacted in 2007 and effective on January 1, 2008, Bright Ideas
Computing will provide free recycling for each of our new Custom Built or
reconditioned Second Chance Computer
systems.
How
can I recycle my Bright Ideas Computing PC?
Because our
computer systems are sold exclusively in the local Kerrville
area
and we operate on an appointment basis only, just give us a call at
830-895-5016 and we will schedule a date and time that is convenient
for you to bring in your Bright Ideas Computing Custom Built
or
Second Chance Computer for recycling when it reaches its useful
end-of-life cycle. If you have moved out of the local Kerrville, Texas
area, please call or email us for other arrangements.
What
do you do with these computers?
We will
then disassemble, inspect, clean, and reuse any serviceable computer components.
Those which do not meet our quality control
standards will be disposed of in accordance with approved environmental
requirements.
What
about any residual data on my hard disk drive?
Under
Texas House Bill 2714, computer manufacturers are
not responsible
for wiping data off the hard drive of recycled computer
equipment.
Please make sure that you have wiped all of
your
personal information or data files from your computer's hard drive
before bringing it in to be recycled. If you are unable to do so, we
can offer a disk wipe service for a nominal fee to ensure your
information will not fall into the wrong hands.
 Do your computers
have an identifying label?
Under Texas House Bill 2714, computer
manufacturers
are only required to provide free recycling for their own brands. Our
computers have a "Bright Ideas Computing"
label, trade mark,
or seal affixed to the rear or the bottom of each unit. See
image
at right.
Are
there any exceptions to this recycling policy?
Texas
House Bill 2714 does NOT require us to provide a recovery system for
computers that are purchased by schools
or government
agencies, non-profit organizations, or businesses
unless they operate
out of their homes. However, we will make exceptions on a case-by-case basis for any of these
entities when they purchase a custom built or second chance computer
from Bright Ideas Computing.
Do
you offer any incentives to recycle responsibly?
As
an additional incentive to recycle responsibly, we will extend a
one-time offer of free recycling and free disk wiping of your
existing end-of-life computer at the time
you take delivery of a custom built or second chance computers
from Bright Ideas Computing, even if it's not a computer
system that
was built by us!

I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be
what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary
wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You
see?"
