Do you purchase any items?

What is the charge to have items picked up?

Charges for pickup depend on location, access, type and quantity of items to be picked up.

Do I need to call ahead to drop items off?

No. You are welcome to drop off your items without an appointment during normal business hours. Monday - Friday 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. One of our friendly staff would be happy to assist with unloading.

How do I arrange a corporate pickup?

Go to Contact page and fill in your information. We will promptly contact you to get more information and arrange a pickup with you at your convenience.

What happens to my device once I turn it in?

If the item is in good remarketable condition, it will be thoroughly tested and cleaned, then marketed for sale. If the item is in less than marketable condition, then it will be sent to one of our recycling partners to be shredded and sold at a material level.

How do you erase the data from a device?

We have a data destruction lab specifically used to wipe drives. Each drive will go through a seven step process insuring that there is not any data left on the drive. The industry definition for this is DoD5220.22-M. It is a Department of Defense standard in securely erasing data on hard drives. It is the most secure way to insure that your data is safely removed from your device.

Are my computers too old to recycle?

Surprisingly not. Older electronics may not have the marketability of a newer item, however it is always best to send your electronics in to be recycled to make sure that they are handled properly and that they do not end up being disposed of in an environmentally unfriendly manner.

Do you erase every hard drive that comes into your facility?

No. It is your responsibility to advise us of any data destruction. A fee may be associated with secure data destruction and all documentation will be provided to you after destruction is complete.

Do you accept surplus and used printer cartridges or other supplies?

Yes we do accept all sorts of surplus office supplies and equipment including printer cartridges, empty cartridges, ribbons, and data tapes.
