Electronics Recycling & Value Recovery

Electronics Recycling & eWaste Services

No matter how well we perform refurbishment, repair, redeployment, and remarketing, there will always be e-waste left over. Green Wave Electronics provides a responsible, secure program that prioritizes reuse first, then processes remaining e-waste through audited downstream partners certified under the Responsible Recycling (R2) Standard.

You get one point of contact for pickup, processing, documentation, and compliance. The goal is simple: maximize recovery, minimize risk, and keep electronics out of landfills.

Waste Not, Want Not

Responsible recycling is the final step, not the first. We push value recovery as far as possible through reuse, refurbishment, redeployment, and remarketing. Then, for what remains, we ensure audited recycling and documented data destruction every time.

Sustainable Electronics Logistics That Also Saves You Money

Reuse wherever possible

Many of our programs are dedicated to reusing electronics that would otherwise be discarded. We repair and refurbish product to like-new condition for redeployment or resale, reducing landfill waste and lowering demand for raw materials.

Resell unwanted inventory

We remarket new overstock, end-of-life product, and refurbished inventory across established sales channels to maximize return and keep functional electronics out of scrap streams.

Redeploy excess stock

Our redistribution programs centralize excess inventory so you avoid repurchasing material you already own, reduce transportation waste, and move parts where they’re needed faster.

Responsible & Secure Recycling at Scale

Millions of computers, laptops, monitors, printers, televisions, and other electronics become obsolete each year in the United States. Many contain hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and other heavy metals not suitable for landfills. Our audited recycling process ensures complete recycling and data destruction every time.

We provide one point of contact for your computer and electronic waste recycling needs. After materials are broken down to commodity form, electronic waste is processed through a network of premier recycling partners with ISO certifications and other industry-specific credentials.

We are grateful to the corporate, educational, non-profit, general public, and government clients who helped us recycle more than 24 million pounds of electronics in a single year. Together, we are making the world a better place.

Maximize Value for Your eWaste

1

Net cost vs. net credit is mix-dependent

Some e-waste has a net cost to dispose (for example hazmat, batteries, and computer monitors), while the rest can generate a net credit. We collect, separate by customer, and process shipments so outcomes reflect the mix of material in each load.

2

Separation by customer, tracked through processing

We collect your e-waste over weeks or months depending on volume, keep it separated by customer, and then send it for processing. This gives you clean reporting and clear outcomes tied to your shipments.

3

R2-certified processing vendors

All e-waste we accumulate is processed by vendors certified under the Responsible Recycling (R2) Standard for Electronics Recyclers, supporting responsible downstream handling and verified recycling practices.

Avoid Expensive Regulatory Fines

Certificates of Destruction recorded per shipment

We receive and save a Certificate of Destruction for each shipment sent to e-waste processing. That documentation provides clear proof that your material was properly handled.

2

Avoid EPA penalties and brand damage

By guaranteeing that all e-waste generated by your company is properly disposed and documented, you avoid the risk of expensive regulatory fines and the negative publicity that can take years to recover from.

3

Support your green policies with proof

The documentation trail helps you promote green initiatives to new and existing customers with confidence, backed by recorded certificates and audited processing practices.

Yes. Whether you have 10 items or 10,000,000 items, we can arrange pickup and secure transportation. We can also provide pallets, Gaylord boxes, smaller packaging materials, or even staged trailer options depending on your needs.

Our audited process ensures complete recycling and data destruction every time. After processing, we provide data and environmental compliance documentation, and we retain Certificates of Destruction for shipments sent to e-waste processing.

It depends on the material mix. Some categories (such as hazmat, batteries, and certain monitors) may have a net cost to dispose, while other categories can generate a net credit. We keep material separated by customer and the mix of each shipment determines the net outcome.

Responsible downstream processing reduces compliance risk and helps ensure material is handled properly throughout the recycling chain. By documenting disposition and maintaining Certificates of Destruction, you reduce exposure to regulatory penalties and protect your brand reputation.
