The Commitment
Every device that comes through our doors is processed for recovery, not sent to a landfill. This is a standing commitment across all of our services, not a special program reserved for select customers.
Sustainability &
Environmental Impact
Recycle Technologies has provided certified electronics recycling and data destruction services to the Midwest since 1993, built on one standing guarantee: nothing we process ends up in a landfill.
Circular Economy
Keeping Materials in Circulation
E-waste recycling recovers valuable resources, metals, plastics, and glass that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
Every device we process is dismantled into base materials, and those materials are directed toward reuse, refurbishment, or recovery instead of disposal. We’ve applied this same process consistently across both our Minnesota and Wisconsin facilities since 1993.
How Materials Re-Enter the Loop
- 1Devices are collected through pickup, drop-off, or our Mail-In Program.
- 2Devices are dismantled into base materials — plastic, wire, circuit boards, metals, and glass.
- 3Materials follow a reuse → refurbishment → recovery hierarchy before disposal is ever considered.
- 4Recovered materials re-enter manufacturing supply chains as raw inputs for new products.
Our Commitment
Our Zero-Landfill Commitment
We guarantee that materials we process don’t end up in a landfill; here’s what that means in practice.
How We Do It
Incoming items are sorted and dismantled into base materials — metals, plastics, glass, and circuit boards — which are routed to vetted downstream processors for reprocessing rather than disposal.
The One Exception
A small number of hazardous components, such as PCB-containing ballast capacitors, are legally required to go to an EPA-approved incineration facility via a certified transporter instead of standard recycling.

Looking Ahead
Where We’re Headed
The priorities guiding how we grow, in plain terms.
Reaching More Communities
Extending in-person service beyond Minnesota and Wisconsin, and strengthening our Mail-In Program so more people can recycle responsibly without driving long distances to a facility.
Wider Certified Capacity
Bringing more of our operations, including our newer Chicago-area location, up to the same certification standards our Minnesota facility already holds.
Staying Transparent
Continuing to document where materials go after they leave our facility, so customers never have to take our word for it on faith alone, but have the evidence of our growing trust.
Making Recycling Easier
Removing friction from the process, whether that means simplifying pickup scheduling, expanding drop-off hours, or making our Mail-In kits easier to use.
