Drop-off &
Collection Options
We developed our E-waste division due to the high demand of residential requests and to support the needs of our commercial accounts. Today’s consumers are purchasing electronics faster than ever due to technological advancement and affordable pricing. Upgrading a device such as a desktop computer, laptop, or cell phone creates a stockpile of obsolete electronics which if not disposed of properly could contaminate established waste streams or end up in landfills.
Responsible Disposal
Zero Landfill Policy
Patriot Shredding works closely with a number of national recyclers to ensure all recoverable material makes its way back to market as a post consumer recycled or upcycled product. Equipment and devices in good working order can be refurbished and re-used and other items can be broken down and source separated so that plastics, glass, and metals can be recycled through more traditional means. Our commitment to provide responsible disposal keeps our landfills free of the environmental hazards associated with e-waste. All hard drives and data storage devices are sanitized and/or physically destroyed prior to recycling so your confidential data is never compromised.
