Ecycle101 based in Baltimore, Maryland; is dedicated to helping hospitals, businesses, schools, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and residential customers with electronic recycling services.
Individuals, businesses, and organizations will at some point replace their old technology. Every new electronic device purchased has to eventually go somewhere, often these devices get tossed into an electronics graveyard often in a poor nation not far from its citizenry. Electronics are also often sent to local and foreign facilities lacking the tools or knowledge to safely recycle. Certain components of electronic products contain materials that are hazardous when not disposed of correctly and can leach lead and other substances into soil and groundwater.
However, old technology products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled in an environmentally sound manner so that they are less harmful to the ecosystem and reduce the need to extract or manufacture virgin materials to fabricate new products. Reusing also provides affordable electronics to people in low-income households or developing nations
We always aim to reduce and reuse before recycling. Our primary goal is to refurbish, repair and reuse as much as possible for the electronics and computers we collect. If reuse or refurbishing is not possible we proceed to recycle.
We value the personal data of our clients. Studies have shown that improper “wiping” procedures can leave significant amounts of residual customer, employee, and business data on devices. Internal IT departments will do their best to erase personal data, but any residual data left on the devices could not only be embarrassing, but it could also create monetary or liability problems. Leaving such data at risk is also not in line with the standards of due diligence that companies want to offer to their clients or employees.
At ecycle101, we use US Department of Defense (DOD) standards for data destruction, we guarantee information security for both your business information and any employee or customer data stored on your computer drives. Ecycle101 implements a series of practices and procedures, which make up a rigorous Environmental, Health, and Safety Management System (EHSMS). We are trusted by many businesses that hold sensitive information; such as hospitals and government agencies. We are compliant with all Local, State, Federal EPA, OSHA, and DOT regulations.
When requested, data deletion is performed on all data storage media, CD's, hard drives, etc. We will provide a Certificate of Data Deletion upon request for any electronics and computer we receive from our customers. Company labels and other forms of identification are removed, including any asset labels. Your time and need for space are valuable to us. We aim to provide our customers with convenient and streamlined pickup & drop-off services that are fast and simple.
