Welcome to Oregon Computer Recycling Guide. We strive to find you the best recycler fro all your computer and electronics recycling needs.

There are 3 types of computer and electronics recycler:
Nationwide Computer and Electronics Recycler, they usually have 2 or more locations nationwide and use is partner network to provide reverse logistics. This guys may come in handy if you need to recycle computers and electronics at all deferent locations nation wide.

Regional Computer and Electronics Recycler, they usually have one or more locations but only provide reverse logistics to a particular geographic region such as a state or a group of state. The come in handy when you need to recycle computers and electronics at only one location.

Municipal and County Electronics and Computer Recycling, they usually only accept item from individual within the county or municipality. They are good if you are a resident of a county and would like to recycle your old computer and electronics.

The above recycler may or may not provide hard drive shredding services; I recommend using a recycler that is NAID Certified and provide hard drive destruction services. If you can’t find a recycler that shreds hard drive we recommend using a destroyer for the hard drive.

How to find a electronic and computer recycler in your area?
Well that is a difficult task, start by searching the internet for government run sites that my have links to local/national electronics and computer recycler. You may a also find some of the advertisers on this website as a potential recycler. Go to the website of the electronics and computer recycler, read pages like FAQ and Resources. You may also call the electronics and computer recycling company and ask how they recycle computer and electronics equipment. You may also get in touch with your local municipal DPW (Department of Public Works) or County Waste Management Department. If you are an individual that will probably be your best solution as county and municipalities usually do all the investigation before awarding a computer and electronics recycling contract.

I found an electronics and computer recycler that said they are EPA Certified Electronics Recycler. Isn’t that great?

A Big NO!!!! This is a common misconception. There is on such thing as an EPA Certified eWaste or Electronics Recycler. EPA dose not have any formal rules for recycling ewaste. State government usually does have such rules. Call your state DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) and see if they have a list of certified de-manufactures of electronics and computer equipment. You may also visit your sate DEP website for a list.

I finally found some electronics and computer recycler that meets all of the above, what to do next?
You may want to visit the computer recycler. Check for the process they use. See their data destruction station, check and see if they really remove tags and data. Also if they recycler performs hard drive shredding see if they have any equipment.

How do I select a Hard Driver Destroyer?
Well, as stated above that is an issue in itself but try to look for “NAID Certified” As they audit destroyers on annual bases. Onsite destruction is well and great. As some so called “destroyers” will not destroy your hard drive, you they will be stored in their warehouse for ever.
