AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC Turns Trash to Treasure: New Program Buys Broken Watches, Offers Sustainable Solution
Meridian, ID – October 26, 2023 – AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC, a US-based company specializing in parts recovery and material repurposing, today announced a new initiative aimed at tackling the growing problem of electronic waste – specifically, broken and unwanted watches. The company is now actively buying junk, broken, and non-functioning watches, offering a convenient and environmentally responsible way for consumers and businesses to get rid of their timepiece clutter. “Let’s face it, most people have a drawer full of old watches that don’t work anymore,” says a spokesperson for AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC, located at 3449 E Copper Point Dr, Meridian, ID, 83642-6731. “They're taking up space, and honestly, most people don't know what to do with them. Tossing them in the trash isn’t great for the planet, but finding someone to fix a really broken watch can be a pain. We offer a super simple solution – we’ll buy them, no matter the condition.” The problem of electronic waste, or e-waste, is a significant one. According to the EPA, millions of tons of e-waste are generated annually in the United States alone. Watches, though seemingly small, contribute to this growing mountain of waste. They contain valuable materials like gold, silver, stainless steel, and various components that, if not properly recovered, end up in landfills, potentially leaching harmful substances into the environment. AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC is taking a different approach. Instead of letting these watches become landfill fodder, they’re diverting them into a carefully managed recovery system. The company isn’t looking for perfect timepieces; they want the broken ones. Whether the crystal is shattered, the band is missing, the movement is frozen, or the watch simply won’t turn on, AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC is interested. “We’re not watch repair experts, we’re parts recovery specialists,” explains the spokesperson. “We carefully dismantle these watches and recover the valuable materials inside. Those materials are then repurposed, reducing the need to mine for new resources. It’s a win-win for everyone.” How it Works – It’s Seriously Easy Getting rid of your unwanted watches with AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC is remarkably straightforward: 1. Gather Your Junk Watches: Dig through those drawers, boxes, and spare parts bins. Any and all broken watches are welcome. It doesn’t matter the brand, style, or age. 2. Contact AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC: Reach out to the company at 708-806-1293, or via their website (details below). They’ll provide you with a prepaid shipping label (in many cases) or discuss local drop-off options. 3. Ship or Drop Off: Package your watches securely and ship them using the provided label, or drop them off at the designated location. 4. Get Paid: AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC will assess the value of the recovered materials and issue a payment based on the weight and type of materials salvaged. Payment options are typically available via check, PayPal, or other electronic methods. More Than Just Recycling – It's Sustainable Sourcing While many companies offer recycling programs, AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC goes a step further. They aren’t just breaking down the watches and sending materials off to be processed. They focus on responsible materials recovery. “We’re very careful about how we dismantle these watches and how we manage the recovered materials,” states the spokesperson. “We work with certified and reputable processors who adhere to strict environmental standards. We’re committed to minimizing our impact on the planet and maximizing the value of these resources.” This focus on sustainability is becoming increasingly important to consumers. More and more people are looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint and support companies that prioritize responsible practices. AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC is positioned to meet that demand.

Quartz Watches: Battery-powered watches. Digital Watches: Watches with digital displays.

Vintage Watches: Broken vintage watches can be particularly valuable for parts. Looking Ahead AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC sees this new initiative as a growing part of their business. They’re committed to expanding their capacity and developing even more innovative ways to recover and repurpose valuable materials from electronic waste. “We believe that everything has value,” concludes the spokesperson. “Even a broken watch can be transformed into something new and useful. We’re excited to be part of the solution to the e-waste problem and to help create a more sustainable future.” Contact Information: AUTO LINK DIRECT LLC 3449 E Copper Point Dr Meridian, ID, 83642-6731 708-806-1293 (Website details to be added – check their social media for updates)
