As you may know, TechSmart, as a full service technology company, offers recycling of electronic waste.
More than 100 of you took advantage of the opportunity to have your older tech recycled safely, legally and in the most possible environmentally responsible way. Our direct relationship with the same company many others use as a provider saves money and allows us to recycle your items in bulk.
**UPDATE: The numbers are in: this recycling drive diverted 5,500 pounds of e-waste from the landfills!**
This recycling drive was our BIGGEST EVER, as you can see here:
A Before and After look
As you probably know, it is illegal to simply throw away tech items – the EPA can and will fine you!
Our partner in recycling is EPA certified and absolutely 0 (zero) of the items recycled are burned, shipped to other countries or buried in landfills.
We will resume our recycling service in mid-July- as you can see we must get our storage space ready for what we anticipate being another record-breaking quarter for our recycling!
Before you bring your TV, Monitor, Computer or other electronic component to the dump, or simply drop it off at a ‘free recycling’ place- we encourage you to view the following:

For almost a year now, TechSmart has committed to helping to solve this global crisis. We partner with an EPA Certified recycler that ships 0% of it’s components overseas and recycles every component it receives. No, this isn’t a cheap process, and we do charge $5-$10 per component; but we believe it to be a small price to pay when you see what is at stake.
We believe that as leaders in the field of technology, it is our duty to lead by example and not wait for government mandates on this issue. Technology is an investment, and that investment doesn’t end with the initial purchase. We believe it is our responsibility as technology users to assure that what we use isn’t destructive to the world around us after we are done with it, as well as think forward of what investments will leave the smallest footprints for the next generation.
We don’t offer gimmicks or tricks. Just the truth- if you are concerned about what will soon be a global crisis and want to do something about it- start at your company, at your home. We’ll be there to help.
