Sustainability & Environmental Impact

Recycle Technologies has been providing services to the community since 1993.

Circular Economy

Keeping Materials in Circulation

E-waste recycling recovers valuable resources, metals, plastics, and glass, that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

Every device we process is dismantled into base materials, and those materials are directed toward reuse, refurbishment, or recovery instead of disposal.

How Materials Re-Enter the Loop

1Devices are collected via pickup, drop-off, or our Mail-In Program.
2Devices are dismantled into base materials — plastic, wire, circuit boards, metals, and glass.
3Materials follow a reuse → refurbishment → recovery hierarchy before disposal is ever considered.
4Recovered materials re-enter manufacturing supply chains.

Our Commitment

Our Zero-Landfill Commitment

We guarantee that materials we process don’t end up in a landfill — here’s what that means in practice.

The Commitment

Materials that come through our doors are processed for recovery — not sent straight to a dump. This is a standing commitment across everything we handle, not a special program for select customers.

How We Do It

Items are sorted and dismantled into their base materials, which are routed to vetted downstream vendors for reprocessing rather than disposal.

The One Exception

A small number of hazardous components — like PCB-containing ballast capacitors — legally must go to an EPA-approved incineration facility via a certified transporter, rather than standard recycling.

Environmental Impact Reporting

Every shipment we process comes with a Certificate of Recycling or Shredding — documented proof that your materials were handled the way we say they were, not just a promise.

Looking Ahead

Where We’re Headed

The priorities guiding how we grow, in plain terms.

Reaching More Communities

Extending in-person service beyond Minnesota and Wisconsin, and strengthening the Mail-In Program so more people never have to drive far to recycle responsibly.

Wider Certified Capacity

Bringing more of our operations, including our newer Chicago-area presence, up to the same certification standards our Minnesota facility already holds.
