E-Waste Recycling · For schools & businesses

A free e-waste bin for your school or business.

We ship a pallet-size collection crate to your school, university or office. Your staff, students, employees 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, anywhere along the East Coast.

Why schools and businesses host one

A recycling program that runs itself.

Every campus and every office has a closet of dead laptops, old phones and tangled cables, and everyone has a drawer at home. A collection bin gives them one easy place to drop it all, and gives your school or business a recycling program it can point to. Working hardware is refurbished and resold; the rest is demanufactured and recycled in-house.

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.

In-house wipes with a certificate of sanitization per drive.

Process-aligned

In-house destruction

Media that can’t be wiped is physically destroyed at the shop.

In-house recycling

What can’t be reused is demanufactured and recycled at the shop.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about collection bins.

What does the collection bin cost?

Nothing. The crate, the drop-offs and the pickup are all free. There’s no fee for the school or business hosting the bin.

Who can get a bin?

Schools, universities, businesses and offices. The terms are the same for everyone: a free crate, free drop-off and free pickup. Tell us where it will go and roughly how much equipment you expect.

Why would a business host one?

It gives employees an easy way to get rid of old electronics, including what’s piling up at home, and gives the business a sustainability practice that costs nothing to run.

Where do you send bins?

Along the East Coast, Maine to Florida. The crate ships collapsed, you set it up on its pallet, and a truck collects it when it’s full. Somewhere else? Contact us for a quote and we’ll see if we can handle it.

How do we get it picked up?

Call or email when the bin is full, or whenever you want it gone, and we schedule the truck.

What can’t go in the bin?

TVs, CRT or flat-panel, aren’t accepted in collection bins. CRT monitors are welcome. Each crate comes with a list of what can and cannot go in.

What happens to the data on the devices?

Every drive is wiped with our in-house wipe process to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, or physically destroyed. A certificate of recycling or data destruction is available on request.

Are you R2v3 process-aligned?

Yes — we follow R2v3 procedures, and demanufactured commodities go to R2v3-certified downstream vendors.
