Currently there are no firm regulations enforced by governing bodies regarding electronic waste.  iRecycle Computers has taken the initiative to develop and adhere to a strict code of ethics and standards.

     Resources are kept in Canada and the United States.  The
     electronic waste is never exported to other countries.  The
     materials recovered like copper, nickel, aluminum, gold, are
     reused by North American production companies.

     Respect for human rights.  Workers are treated fairly according to
     federal, provincial, and municipal laws.  Workers are protected
     under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) and are
     compensated for their efforts.

     Zero landfill policy regarding electronic waste.  Cleaning up the community
     by recycling instead of disposing to landfill.

     Information security.  All information storing devices are wiped
     clean using software.  Hard drives are smashed and shredded

     Dedicated to public awareness and education.  Motivating
     individuals to action by creating innovative ways for individuals
     to participate.
