0%
to landfill
Reuse comes first: we recover and refurbish whatever we can, then recycle the remainder – so the e-waste your business retires never reaches a landfill.
Commercial E-Waste Disposal with a Route to Remarketing
Green Wave Electronics turns commercial e-waste recycling into a managed program with reuse-first recovery: IT assets that still have value are routed through repair and refurbishment into remarketing channels that can offset retirement costs.
Everything You Need From an E-Waste Management Program
Retired devices carry 2 risks: sensitive data and hazardous materials. Our certified electronics recycling and e-waste management approach is built to reduce both, with secure handling and compliance documentation you can keep on file.
Flexible Logistics for High-Volumes
We offer flexible, nationwide pickup options, including hosted events, white-glove de-installation and semi-trailers for high-volume commercial electronics recycling.
IT Recycling at 5 U.S. Locations
With IT equipment recycling facilities in Atlanta, Indianapolis, New Jersey, Florida, and Nevada, we manage e-waste programs across multiple locations under a single program.
Reuse-First Recycling Approach
We prioritize reuse and refurbishment or parts harvesting whenever possible, routing anything with remaining value to our remarketing or redistribution programs first.

FAQs
Electronic recycling is the process of collecting and processing end-of-life devices to recover materials and keep hazardous components out of landfills. Certified programs include secure data destruction, documented chain of custody, and responsible downstream processing.
Recycling electronics keeps toxic metals from contaminating soil and water while recovering valuable materials like gold, silver, and copper. It also saves energy versus mining virgin ore and supports a circular economy by reducing manufacturing impact.
Companies recycle electronics through an end-of-life ITAD process: devices are collected and sorted, hazardous parts removed, and data destroyed. Remaining hardware is shredded, then metals are separated from plastics/glass and refined for reuse. Reputable recyclers provide recycling certificates and chain-of-custody records for regulatory compliance.
The best way is to use certified e-waste recyclers that conform to R2v3 and ISO standards which support responsible handling and documented processes. You can also use manufacturer take-back programs (Apple, Dell) or drop items at participating retailers.
Donate working devices to schools or charities, or refurbish them for reuse. Alternatively, you can sell or trade them in through manufacturer or remarketing programs. For end-of-life items, have data wiped and bring them to a certified IT recycler or public drop-off to recycle them. Businesses often need recycling and data-destruction certificates for all disposed-of electronics.
Electronics recycling typically happens in 4 core steps:
- Collection & Sorting: Devices are gathered and categorized.
- Dismantling: Hazardous parts like batteries are removed manually.
- Shredding: Remaining hulls are shredded into small fragments.
- Separation: Magnets extract steel, while eddy currents and water baths isolate copper, aluminum, and plastics.
Back up your files, then do a full factory reset (hard reset) on phones/tablets, and encrypt them. For computers, use a disk-cleaning/overwrite tool that writes random data over the drive. For older magnetic hard drives, consider degauss (magnetic wipe) or physical destruction (drill/shred) if not reused.
Electronics recyclers earn revenue through service fees for pickup and processing, material recovery (gold, copper, silver from shredded devices), and remarketing refurbished equipment. Some programs return a net credit to the client when recovered material value offsets handling costs.
Most powered electronics can be recycled. Items typically not accepted include bare CRT tubes, equipment containing biological or radioactive waste, and certain hazardous materials.
For businesses, certified electronics recycling protects against EPA penalties, helps reduce data security risk, and supports ESG reporting. Some programs also generate a net credit depending on material recovery value – making it both a compliance and financial decision.
