Pre-Sorting and Recycling of Vending Machines
After a vending machine is retired, it goes through processing to collect and properly treat CFCs (linked to global warming), fluorescent lights, batteries, and other toxic substances that could cause environmental pollution. The rest of the vending machine, which is approximately 90% steel and plastics, is broken down further. Copper is extracted from the wiring and cooling unit, while gold and other metals of value are extracted from computer circuit boards and other parts, thereby recycling the machines as an "urban mine" resource.
(Certain waste that cannot be recycled is sent to a managed disposal site.)
