Industries We Serve

 

Technology Recyclers serves over 4,000 clients in a wide variety of industries- It doesn’t matter how big or small, we do it all!

We help clients from a broad scope of industries like:

  • corporate businesses
  • healthcare facilities
  • hospitals
  • schools
  • legal systems
  • government contracts

We work with businesses that have needs as wide-ranging as:

  • computers and laptops
  • printers
  • copiers
  • IT equipment
  • medical electronics
  • all connecting, wiring, and cabling racks

If your company is cleaning out its offices or moving, we can show up on the day you need and haul away any unnecessary electronics. In the past, we have serviced entire office buildings with piles of unwanted computers, printers, and phones. We do all the removal, loading, organizing, and recycling, and at no charge, regardless of the amount of devices.

Over the years, Technology Recyclers has been proud to offer drop off events where we raise local awareness for electronic recycling, as well as offer you a one-stop option for unloading all your unused electronics. These events, mostly for local residents, have been very productive in recycling thousands of pounds of electronics that might otherwise be dumped into landfills.

At Community and Corporate events, we come to you, and provide a convenient location for recycling. Residents and people at their workplace are provided easy, and safe access. Once again allowing us to save the earth and the people in it.

So far in 2021 we have provided 49 corporate and community-wide events, and look forward to playing an even bigger role in our community service this next year. Year after year, our business continues to see growth in the amount of hazardous electronics we recycle. We would like to see those numbers continue to rise as we partner with you to reduce and eventually eliminate the irresponsible disposal of harmful electronics.

Last year with your help, we were able to recycle millions of pounds of electronic waste; that’s a huge amount of waste that not only is spared from infesting landfills across the country, but is also being recycled back into the market where the materials can be reused.

Along with saving the earth and providing convenient drop off opportunities,  we are proud to support our local community through non-profit organizations and charities. Crime Stoppers, Girls Nite In International, and Kids Voice of Indiana are just a few of the organizations we support which in turn, give back to the community. By supporting us, you are supporting them and the work they do for the children of Indiana.

Rate of Replacement

 

Electronics are different from many consumer products in many ways, not least of which is how quickly they become obsolete. Complex devices often break. In a rapidly changing and evolving marketplace, new devices are constantly pushing out old ones.

Some sources site that the average American replaces his cell phone as often as every two years. When you add computers, televisions, and other devices in need of replacement, the amount of unwanted electronics is staggering.

Even if you’re able to keep your device for a longer period than the standard rate of replacement, because most electronics run on software, they have baked in obsolescence. Operating Systems update frequently, and the list of old computers and devices that new operating systems do not support is growing bigger and bigger.

Furthermore, this rate at which electronics become obsolete is growing each year. It’s this huge need that gives us the chance to serve our community in such a necessary capacity.

Organizations We Support:

In addition to the improvement of the quality of our environment, we are proud to support our local community through non-profits and charities. Crime Stoppers, Girls Nite In Intl., and Kids Voice of Indiana are just a few of the efforts that we support. In turn, these companies give back to our local community. By supporting us, you are supporting them and the work they do for the children of Indiana.

 

Assisting Local Governments

Along similar lines, Technology Recyclers has set up events for municipal and local government officials. These officials work with us to achieve their computer electronics recycling goals. Because Indiana law encourages recycling, many companies are glad to have a free and convenient way to dispose of their electronics.

Not Your Average Trucks

The services we offer are state-of-the-art, and it all starts with the trucks that arrive on call. We have our own corporate pickup and disposal trucks and offer scheduled pickups for whatever time and place is most convenient for you.

 

You might have seen us drive around the area; we’re hard to miss. One of the favorite features of our business in our community is our bright pickup trucks, which are blue, green, and orange. In addition to our trucks, we even have bright colored wraps on our buses that travel through the city. We believe that recycling is not just something we’re responsible for, it’s also fun. It’s one more way in which we can go the extra mile to serve you in the best way possible.

Electronic Production Required to Recycle 60%

Aside from Indiana law’s effect on residents and businesses, the state also encourages companies that manufacture electronics to recycle. This mostly effects the production of televisions, monitors, laptops, and other video display devices. Indiana law requires these companies arrange the collection and recycling of devices equal to 60% the weight in items they sell.

 

In other words, a company that sells 100 pounds of electronics in a year is responsible to recycle 60 pounds of old electronics in that same year. This ensures that most of the electronics that are disposed of every year are recycled instead of dumped. Furthermore, we personally involve ourselves in many of these operations. We see millions of pounds of electronics pass through our facilities properly and responsibly recycled.

Innovation and Improvement

 

One area that separates Technology Recyclers from the pack is our commitment to constant innovation and workplace improvement. First of all, due to the basic health concerns that arise in our business, it is very important for us to ensure our workers’ safety and health. Because of this, we do everything we can to maintain an injury-free workplace. In addition to workplace safety, we all work to minimize pollution and maximize our customer’s peace of mind.

We are committed to constantly growing, moving forward, and improving every aspect of our promise. Quality of service and convenience are a driving force of our work. In addition to that, the health and safety for our workers and a commitment to the environment are all founding values of our company. We want to earn your trust as the number one provider of computer electronics recycling services in Indiana.

 

Feel free to give us a call or email us if you have any questions about our process or when we’re available,. In fact no detail is too small for our team’s attention. We are committed to earn your trust as the source for friendly, secure, and convenient computer electronics recycling.

Mining Valuable Material

 

Technology Recycler’s operates on a 98% landfill free policy. Even when it comes to that 2%, we ensure that none of the materials we put in landfills contain any hazardous chemicals or compounds.

On top of that, we are able to save many of the precious materials found in electronics such as steel, glass, plastic, copper, aluminum, and gold. Through our work and your partnership, we are able to recycle these materials back into the market. This keeps millions of pounds of hazardous chemicals and waste out of landfills every year.

Recycling vs. Mining

 

Many of the rare earth metals and materials mentioned are better recycled than salvaged. In the more traditional and painstaking process, these materials are mined by hand from each device. This hand mining process sometimes takes several hours to complete. Given the enormous quantity of electronics we dispose of, this process is impractical at best.

By recycling these devices, we are able to gain all the benefits of salvaging these valuable materials. This is always preferred, rather than dealing with the setbacks in time and energy taken mining them by hand.

 Electronics Don’t Belong in Landfills

The problem is that some electronics in the state of Indiana are still disposed of through the municipal waste system. Maybe this is due to a lack of awareness or knowledge about their effect on the environment. Yet, despite the effort to filter these devices out of the trash, too many end up in landfills each year. The damage this causes to the environment and to future generations is difficult to quantify as these harmful devices decompose and off-gas.

As this happens, harmful chemicals that were safely contained in devices become exposed to the environment, leaking  into either the air or the ground. You will find basic chemicals and complex compounds in many computers and electronics. This includes lead, mercury, cadmium, heavy metals, and hexavalent chromium, to name just a few. When we recycle our electronics, the danger that they will harm the environment is no longer present. We must always recycle our electronics rather than allow them to be dumped into the earth.

Throwing Electronics in the Trash is Illegal

Not only is recycling electronics responsible, in Indiana, it’s actually illegal to dispose of them in any other way. Indiana passed a law in 2011(see Indiana’s waste regulations: 329 IAC 16) that prohibited local households, public schools, or small businesses from throwing away electronics.

Throwing away includes burning or mixing electronics with the municipal waste, since most of the municipal waste is later disposed of in landfills. This would, of course, contribute to the depletion of our natural resources and be hazardous to our health.

 

Compliance

 

Technology Recyclers operates in conjunction with the excellent policies advocated by the Indiana Recycling Coalition. These policies include items like banning yard waste from Indiana landfills. In addition to that, they advocate proper management of waste sites and the recycling of electronics and other harmful materials.

Through the years, the Indiana Recycling Coalition has helped pass laws that help Indiana maintain safe standards for our environment. Because of this, we are pleased to work within these guidelines and laws. As a result, working with our government provides you with the cleanest, best computer electronics recycling services available.
