E-Scrap Recycling

Honest & Transparent E-Scrap Recycling Services

Electronics, or e-scrap recycling, can feel stressful and daunting when you consider environmental and privacy concerns. Trust the experts and Lake State Recycling to keep you compliant and eco-friendly, all at a competitive price. We have Sustainable Electronics Reuse & Recycling (R2) v3 Standard certification, meaning we adhere to guidelines for safe and sustainable e-waste recycling. We handle everything from secure data sanitization to dismantling, ensuring your electronics are recycled responsibly following the industry's strictest standards.

REUSE

Recycle right, reuse more! We prioritize refurbishing electronics. Salvageable electronics get securely sanitized, refurbished, and resold. They get a second life, reducing e-waste and extending lifespans.

RECOVERY

For equipment that can't be refurbished and resold, we break them down so their functional components can be repurposed. This thoroughly secure and compliant process includes data sanitization to ensure privacy and safety.

RECYCLE

Can't reuse or recover? Electronics beyond repair are securely sanitized, dismantled, and responsibly recycled. Valuable materials like metals and plastics are extracted for new products, minimizing waste and helping create a greener future.
