Electronics Recycling

We are in the process of obtaining our R2 CERTIFICATION!
This means that we adhere to the highest standards of worker
health & safety and ethics & sustainability in the electronics recycling field. 
Our Practices
At SustainAbility, we ensure that all electronics are ethically handled from the time they enter our doors. We partner with environmentally responsible downstream recyclers for all focus materials who hold either eStewards or R2 certifications. 

 We are recognized by the State of Colorado as a Large Quantity Handler of Universal Waste.

There is a $3 per drive fee for shredding services.

Hard Drive Destruction with SustainAbility & Electronic Recyclers International (ERI)

If you choose to have your drives destroyed, we offer shredding services for an extra fee. We have locked containers at our sites for your data destruction needs. Please remove your drives prior to arriving at our site so you can place them in the shred bin.

All hard drives placed in these containers are sent directly to ERI for destruction. ERI destroys data in accordance with (NAID) The National Association for Information Destruction and the (DOD) Department of Defense standards. 

 

ERI takes data protection seriously. In addition to the shredding process, which destroys 100 percent of your device’s data, ERI operates surveillance cameras, metal detectors and third-party security at all ERI facilities, ensuring devices and data never leaves an ERI facility. 

Drives that are not specified for destruction and placed in the shred bin will be locked at our facility until they are taken to our downstream recycling partners where they will either undergo a DOD wipe, or will be destroyed.

It is our goal to provide the most affordable recycling services possible to our community.

Due to recent changes in recycling markets, it has become

more expensive & labor intensive for us to disassemble televisions containing wood.

Because of these changes, we have been forced to raise our prices on these items.

We understand that these items are heavy and can incur a significant cost for ethical recycling.

Please be assured that we are doing everything that we can to keep our pricing as low as possible during these market fluctuations.
