Laptop Battery Recycling glass has gone from being a revenue producer for local governments to an expense, but local experts say the program still has long-term value. "In the last two years, the market became a negative market," said Kathy Hourihan, of the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority. "We pay, at worst, $15 a ton (to get rid of the glass), and we happen to be at worst case scenario right now."
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Thinkpad The MCMUA, which collects recyclables from 14 towns, has received as much as $5 a ton for glass in the past. The market for glass, however, has changed, with more manufacturers turning to plastic and aluminum and fewer uses being found for recycled glass.

Microsoft Frank Peluso, of the state Department of Environmental Protection, said plastic and newspaper consistently are moving, though they bring in different amounts of revenues at different times depending upon demand.
laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier.

Laptop Computer A recent issue of Waste Age, a trade publication, reported that officials in other municipalities, including Baltimore and Charleston, W.Va., are considering cutting back their recycling programs as well.
"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."
Desktop Computer Experts and municipal officials in the Garden State remain recycling advocates.
Notebooks Peluso said that about a decade ago the state was the second-largest producer of glass containers from recycled material. But with fewer markets for post-consumer glass, that picture has changed.
Lenovo "Today, slowly but surely, glass is being replaced by plastic and aluminum," Peluso said.
Hard Drive Recycled glass usually is turned back into glass containers, but when flint, brown and green glass mix - or worse, break - the glass then becomes almost useless. That, coupled with a decline in the use of glass, makes it harder and harder to sell the product.
Travelstar Green glass in particular is hard to market.
Gateway "There's more glass imported into the country than consumed in any furnaces because, basically, we don't bottle as much liquid into green bottles as we are importing it," said Hourihan, of the municipal utilities authority.
Laptop Parts "Imported beer, for example, is associated with green bottles," Hourihan said, so American beer manufacturers prefer brown or clear glass.
Software Some think the color of the packaging may negatively affect the contents, Hourihan added, so companies producing liquids stay away from green glass.
Hard Drives The MCMUA pays a private contractor, FCR Morris in Mine Hill, to collect and sort glass from 14 Morris County municipalities, including Chatham Township, Chester, the Boontons, the Mendhams, Denville, Dover, Hanover, Florham Park, Morris Plains, Netcong, Randolph, and Rockaway.
Electronics About a dozen other municipalities, including Mount Olive, have a deal with the agency whereby the town collects its waste but the MCMUA markets recyclables through FCR.
Canon If the glass market improves, the MUA could pay less, but "we anticipate to be at worst case for the length of the contract," Hourihan said.
Desktop Pc The MCMUA signed a five-year deal with FCR Morris in January 2001 and sends the agency about 700 tons a month, Hourihan estimates. That adds up to about $126,000 a year.
Desktop Computers But it's a favorable option, compared with paying $76 a ton for waste disposal, Hourihan adds.
Think Pad Mount Olive Councilman Steven Rattner agrees, saying some governments are eliminating recycling because they're looking at it strictly from a financial perspective.
Repair "It's shortsighted," he states.
Data Recovery "There is no cost avoidance. It costs $70 to $80 a ton to dump garbage, and if we stop recycling tonnage, the extra garbage has to be locked up. Do we have the staffing to do that?"
Cisco Vincent Pace, of Pace Glass, a Jersey City company that sells glass collected from Rockaway Township, said suspending glass recycling in this area would be counterproductive.
Keyboard "Over the years we've had a problem moving it, but the key is to always cultivate new markets for it," he said.
Monitor Pace added that it would be more costly to go back to dumping the waste in landfills for two reasons: because many landfills have closed, and because so many states have mandatory recycling that the landfills couldn't absorb all the material out there.
Desktop So Pace and other companies export their glass.
Infosys Paul Smith, of the Container Recycling Alliance, said the outlook is increasingly good as new markets for green glass open up.
Refurbished Laptops "We've been selling it to people in Europe, mostly in Spain, and there's interest in other markets," Smith said.
Wipro Last month, CRA shipped 18,500 metric tons to Spain, and approximately 70 percent of it came from New Jersey, he added.
Lap Top Some have come with other uses for green glass.
Refurbished Peluso said in Ocean County, for example, green glass is being used for road construction, as aggregate. Other municipalities have approved the use of glass in building construction for drainage systems.
Memory "There's always another use for this material," Peluso said.
Intel "The real problem is getting people to use it."
