Manufacturing & Industrial
Manufacturing and industrial organizations can recycle retired computers, IT equipment, batteries, and lighting through Recycle Technologies’ licensed recycling services, with a Certificate of Recycling or Destruction issued for every completed project.
Recycling Challenges in Manufacturing & Industrial Operations
Retired computers, monitors, and networking equipment tend to accumulate at plants, warehouses, and production facilities faster than anyone plans for. A technology refresh on the production floor, an office move, or a shift in operations at one of several locations can leave equipment sitting in storage with no clear next step, especially when there’s no single point of contact handling disposal across sites.
That equipment often holds information worth protecting, from network configurations to operational and employee data stored on retired hard drives. Plant and facilities teams typically need that equipment picked up, processed, and documented without pulling attention away from ongoing production, and with a record showing what happened to each device after it left the building.
Recycling Services for Manufacturing & Industrial
Electronics RecyclingRetired computers, monitors, and other electronic equipment are dismantled into base materials, including plastic, wire, circuit boards, metal, and glass, with disposal handled under a no-landfill policy.IT Asset DispositionLarger equipment transitions, like a multi-facility technology refresh, go through a four-step process: discussing the assets involved, providing an estimate and recycling plan, scheduling pickup, and processing the equipment with a Certificate of Destruction or Recycling issued when the project wraps up.Hard Drive DestructionFormatting or deleting data from a drive doesn’t remove it completely. Certified hard drive destruction is available on-site or off-site for computers retired from a plant, warehouse, or facility office.Battery RecyclingProduction equipment, backup systems, and facility electronics rely on batteries, and our battery recycling service accepts lithium-ion, EV, mercury, nickel-cadmium, and zinc battery types.Light Bulb RecyclingFacilities replacing fluorescent, LED, halogen, or incandescent lighting during upgrades or maintenance can recycle the retired bulbs rather than sending them to a landfill.Ballast RecyclingOld ballasts removed from light fixtures are processed to safely separate PCB- and DEHP-containing capacitors, which are routed to an EPA-approved incineration facility through a certified waste transporter.Mail-In ProgramFacilities outside the Minnesota and Wisconsin service area can order a recycling kit online for electronics, batteries, or bulbs, pack it, and ship it with a prepaid label, then get a certificate of recycling once it’s processed.Certifications & Standards
Recycle Technologies follows recognized industry certification standards for responsible recycling, including R2v3.
