Small Scale E Waste Recycling In Colombia

With the rapid advancement of technology, the amount of electronic waste has increased dramatically, and its recycling and treatment are particularly critical. We can use electronic waste recycling equipment to extract valuable materials and safely handle hazardous substances through processing steps such as shredding and screening. In addition, in Colombia, a complete system for electronic waste recycling has been established. With the support of the country, it has become easier to generate profits by recycling electronic waste. Therefore, on March 21, 2024, a customer from Colombia consulted us about the relevant issues of small-scale electronic waste recycling, and finally, we reached pleasant cooperation.

How much does it cost to recycle small-scale e-waste in Colombia?

The cost of small-scale e-waste recycling is affected by various factors, including geographic location, collection and processing technology, labor costs, regulatory compliance costs, and changes in market demand for recycled materials. We have given the following plan based on some of their specific needs. After calculation, the total cost is about $20,000.

This is one of the main costs. Small-scale e-waste recycling usually involves collecting small amounts of e-waste over a wide area, which can result in a higher unit cost of about $5,000.

Collection and transportation

This process requires the use of our e-waste recycling equipment. Customers can choose the YS-50 shredder and the YS-150 pulverizer to crush the e-waste into smaller particles for subsequent screening. The total price of these two devices is about $4,000. In addition, for screening, we recommend the YS-300 airflow screen, the YS-150 linear vibrating screen, the YS-150 specific gravity screen, and other equipment, which are used for different e-waste according to their different screening principles, and cost about $8,000.

Crushing and screening

This is one of the main costs. Small-scale e-waste recycling usually involves collecting small amounts of e-waste over a wide area, which can result in a higher unit cost of about $5,000.

Collection and transportation

The electronic waste recycling process will produce a lot of waste gas and wastewater, so we recommend using the YS-500 activated carbon adsorption equipment and the YS-300 pulse dust collector. Their prices are around $3,000.

How to recycle small-scale electronic waste?

The electronic waste recycling process we provide to our customers is as follows, but the detailed recycling depends on the specific type of electronic waste. If you have the need to recycle electronic waste, you can consult us.

Collection

First of all, collection is the first step in the process. This involves collecting discarded electronic products from individuals, companies or collection sites. Many cities and organizations provide specific electronic waste recycling points, or arrange recycling activities to collect electronic waste in a centralized manner.

Classification and sorting

Next, you need to carefully classify and sort the collected electronic waste to distinguish between devices that can be directly reused, those that need to be repaired, and those that need to be disassembled. This step is usually done manually and requires technical knowledge to correctly identify various materials and components.

Manual disassembly

Then, some electronic devices need to be manually disassembled to separate valuable materials (such as gold, silver, copper, etc.) and hazardous substances (such as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.). This step requires expertise to ensure the safety of operators and reduce environmental pollution.

Mechanical processing

Finally, the materials that have been manually disassembled may be further processed mechanically, such as crushing, separation, etc., to extract valuable metals and other materials.
