E-waste recycling: reuse first, recycle the rest.

Electronics recycling for businesses and households. Drop off at our Clearwater shop, book a business pickup along the East Coast, or ship it in from anywhere. Every drive is wiped or destroyed before anything leaves the building, working hardware gets a second life, and everything else is demanufactured and recycled in-house.

Why reuse first

Refurb is the boring kind of sustainable.

We don’t sell carbon offsets or publish ESG reports. Refurbishing is what we do every day, so a working laptop that comes in for recycling usually leaves as a tested, warrantied machine for someone else. That keeps good hardware in service and out of the landfill. What can’t be reused is demanufactured and recycled right here in the shop.

Sometimes doing the right thing is just doing the obvious thing.

A worn laptop is lifted out of an e-waste recycling bin, cleaned and tested on the bench, and comes out like new with a tag and sparkles.

For schools & businesses

A free bin for your building.

We ship a pallet-size collection crate to your school, university or office along the East Coast. Staff, students and visitors drop off old electronics, and when it’s full we send a truck. The crate, the drop-offs and the pickup are all free.

A flat-packed crate arrives on a pallet, stands filled with old electronics by school lockers, and rides away in a truck with a pallet jack parked outside.
