Our Process

A Better Way Computer Recycling offers many different programs for all your computer recycling needs.  Most are custom tailored to your companies specific needs.  While are services are based in Maryland, DC, and Virginia,  we can provide solutions for any business in the lower 48 states.  Our facility is R2:2013, ISO 14001:2007 and OHSAS 18001 Certified.

Below is a basic overview of our process from start to finish.

Initial Contact & Logistics

One of our account managers will work closely with you to figure out what you have to recycle and what level of reporting you need.  If using our hassle-free pickup,  a time and date will be worked out along with all the logistics involved for the pickup.  Many of our clients deliver right to our warehouse as well.  

Hassle-Free Pickup

Using the date and time agreed, we send out our team to your location to pick your equipment up.  We work quickly and quietly to minimize any disruptions to your business.  We provide all the labor and equipment necessary to make this a safe and quick process.  Learn more about our hassle-free pickup here.

Processing & Recycling

Once your equipment is back at our warehouse everything is weighed and sorted.  We have different processes depending on the age and condition of the equipment.  

While the vast majority of the equipment we receive is extremely outdated and sent directly to recovery, some is set aside for refurbishment and reuse.  Part of being a Certified R2:2013 Recycler is having a robust reuse and process plans.  Reuse and refurbishment is the most environmentally friendly form of recycling.  It keeps them out of the landfill, extends their useful life and provides an affordable alternative to consumers.

For equipment well beyond any useful life, it is sent to recovery.  This is a basic form of urban mining were the equipment is separated and sorted, then sent to metal recovery facilities.  All downstream vendors are audited and approved as part of our R2:2013 Certification.

Documentation

Usually 2-3 business days after your pickup or drop-off, we will email you a copy of your Certificate of Recycling/Destruction.  This is a document we provide that reflects the weight of equipment we received.  At this time we will also provide you with any other documentation you requested such as Serialized Hard Drive Shred Reports or Asset Documentation.   We are capable of providing these reports in multiple formats and structures.
