E-Recycling
Security Archives performs environmentally friendly recycling using de-manufacturing and asset recovery. Components of value are repurposed for reuse, and other remaining parts are processed further for final metals recovery. All items from the de-manufacturing process are recycled.
Once your material arrives at one of our facilities, it will be inventoried, and all company identification and/or sensitive information will be removed and destroyed. A Certificate of Recycling will be issued for each shipment.
Security Archives recycles all electronics through a process called de-manufacturing.
During this process, we take all equipment (computers, servers, mainframes, etc.) and turn them into piles of smaller recyclable pieces. These smaller pieces are then processed further for end-of-life metals recovery with one of our refining partners.
Most importantly, our process keeps lead, cadmium, lithium and other hazardous toxins out of landfills. Every piece of metal and every toxin are accounted for!
We have a Zero Landfill policy in regards to electronics and no electronics or components that we process will ever go to landfill.
