Where are you located?
Our headquarters are located in Phoenix, Ariz. The address is: 325 E. Pinnacle Peak Rd., Suite 100.
Are you R2 Certified?
Yes, this is indeed an important question to ask when you’re looking for an electronic waste recycler. Certified by Sustainable Electronics Recycling International, our operations meet the R2 standard for the responsible reuse, repair, and recycling of electronic products. Rigorously and independently audited, this standard emphasizes quality, safety, and transparency.
How does your recycling program work?
To begin with, we transport your unwanted and obsolete electronic assets to our facility, where they are demanufactured and broken down into their valuable components to use in the manufacturing of new products. So, those electronic assets that are no longer suitable for refurbishing and cannot be salvaged for components are responsibly recycled.
Can you refurbish and resell my electronics?
Absolutely. Our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services certainly provide a systematic approach to managing the disposition of retired and outdated IT assets. We then collect your used equipment, refurbish your electronic assets, and redeploy those assets to your organization. For all the details, please visit our page for ITAD services.
Can we get paid for items we recycle?
Yes. We provide full traceability and transparency on all recovered electronic assets and streamline every aspect of your ITAD program to deliver an efficient and profitable strategy for your business. Extending the life of an electronic asset is indeed the greenest way to recycle. It is also an excellent way to recoup some of the investment your company makes in technology. Moreover, we’ve built a robust online presence and trusted downstream partnerships.
