Environmental & Recycling Program

COMPUTER/ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT RECYCLING

• Refurbished computer electronics for re-use
• De-manufacturing processes save landfill space

UNICOR's Recycling Business Group (RBG) offers competitively-priced electronics recycling which meets all federal, state and local requirements. If an item cannot be re-used, it is broken down into recyclable component parts. The RBG's goal is to recycle or resell every part received, including cathode ray tubes.

During Fiscal Year 2008, the RBG began the certification process approved by the International Association of Electronic Recyclers (IAER). This is the only certification process specifically tailored to the electronics recycling industry. It promotes high standards of business practices, environmental quality and regulatory compliance. In addition, the RBG is ISO 9001:2000 certified by the International Standards Organization; a quality assurance program to ensure that all operations perform at consistent quality levels.

Currently, eight processing centers and six collection sites are located throughout the country. During Fiscal Year 2008, the RBG processed more than 37 million pounds of obsolete and excess electronics from both the public and private sectors which saved precious landfill space, energy, and resources, by reusing residual materials in lieu of mining virgin commodities.

Why not put your out-dated, broken or surplus computer and electronic equipment to good use? Let UNICOR recycle them! We accept donations from public organizations, private companies and government agencies. Call 202-305-3768 for details.
