Electronics Recycling
Turn yesterday’s tech into tomorrow’s resource—responsibly
We specialize in electronic recycling, providing businesses and governments with a profitable, responsible solution for outdated and end-of-life electronics.
Our advanced processing methods profitably recover valuable metals like gold, silver, copper, aluminum and iron from e-material, while ensuring safe disposal of hazardous materials. Whether you're a company clearing out old devices or a state with a residential e-recycling program, we’re a trusted partner with the certifications to prove it.
We receive materials from all across western United States for processing at our certified Vancouver facility in Washington State. Our customers extend from California to Alaska and Canada. The Metro Metro fleet of trucks can drive to you. Our expertly refined e-products are sold in markets worldwide.

Our certifications
We conduct electronic recycling operations at our certified Washington facilities in Tacoma and Vancouver with industry standard physical and optical sorting and shredding technology. Our certifications are the proof of our commitment and compliance with all state and federal laws and regulations. We use independent third parties to conduct annual internal and recertification audits, reviewing our processes, management system, throughput documentation, and overall Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) system. These audits are essential to ensure our facilities and downstream compliance.
