Four Reasons to Recycle your Electronics
Recycling electronic waste isn’t just a smart choice; it offers lasting benefits for the environment and our community. Here are four important reasons to recycle your e-waste!
E-Waste Contains Toxic Materials That Harm the Environment
Electronic waste is packed with materials that can significantly harm our environment if not disposed of correctly. For example, devices with lithium-ion batteries can pose fire risks if they’re mishandled or exposed to heat. Toxic substances can leak and combine to form a dangerous material known as leachate. E-waste may also contain lead and mercury, which can pose serious health risks if leachate seeps into nearby soil.
When harmful chemicals contaminate soil, they create dead zones where plants can’t grow anymore. Disposing of your e-waste in the trash guarantees it will end up in a landfill, which only adds to the problem of landfill expansion.
Recycling E-Waste Encourages Material Reuse and Reduces Waste
Recycling your e-waste allows manufacturers to recover materials from old e-waste to create new devices. There’s even a process called the circular economy framework designed to greatly minimize improper e-waste disposal and its associated risks!
Companies that adopt this approach are helping to foster a healthier planet and better recycling practices. That’s where we come in! AIT is committed to helping you easily implement sustainable practices, making responsible e-waste recycling a simple but impactful addition to your normal waste disposal operations.
Improper E-Waste Disposal Destroys Animal Habitats
The U.S. already has a large number of landfills—around 3,000 are currently in operation! That adds up to 1,800,000 acres of lost habitat, now dedicated to waste disposal. Many types of waste end up in landfills, but e-waste alone accounts for 70% of all toxic waste!
Companies that choose to recycle their electronics are fighting against landfill expansion and improperly handled toxic waste. Their efforts in partnership with our services also help to push the creation of new electronics by allowing for the repurposing of old materials.
Recycling Your E-Waste Protects Your Data
Protecting your data is vital for your organization! In fact, HIPAA Journal reported that 1 in 4 data breaches were due to negligence, such as improper disposal! It’s essential to destroy any data storage devices within your electronics before recycling.
Erasing your data storage devices also helps to maintain customer trust and ensures compliance with privacy laws. As your partner in e-waste recycling, AIT ensures that your data destruction is completely airtight, allowing you to feel confident that your sensitive information has been completely destroyed!

Back Up Your Data (Optional)
Remove any storage devices (like SSDs, HDDs, memory cards, or SIM cards) and decide if you want to destroy them or transfer the data to your new device(s).
If the thought of managing all your e-waste feels overwhelming, we’re here to help you remove each data storage device in preparation for shredding. Click here to get started now!
Quick Tip: If you’re upgrading to cellphones with e-SIMs, your physical SIMs will no longer be useful and can be recycled after you make the switch.
Have more devices to recycle but unsure if they contain data? Check out our guide on backing up your data before recycling for each type of electronic device.
Destroy Data on Data Storage Devices
This step is crucial for safeguarding your sensitive data! There are several methods for data destruction, ranging from factory resetting the device to using an industrial shredder that can break data storage devices into tiny pieces. It’s best not to rely solely on factory resets, as there may still be backup recovery options available, exposing you to the risk of data theft. Explore our data destruction options below.

AIT’s Data Destruction Services
AIT provides physical hard drive destruction using our industrial-grade shredder, which guarantees a secure level of data destruction for any industry or individual. When your data is completely destroyed, it is completely irretrievable!
We destroy data storage devices including hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and other physical storage media. If you’re unsure whether we can destroy the data on your device, feel free to reach out!
Asset Serialization
Our asset serialization service assigns a unique identifier to each of your devices. After collection and recycling, you will receive an e-waste recycling report detailing the services performed on each item.
This feature is especially useful if you need proof of a secure chain-of-custody for a specific number of devices or if you’re dealing with a large amount of highly sensitive devices.
On-Site Data Destruction
We can also perform on-site data destruction if you’re located within the tri-state area. This is particularly beneficial if you have highly sensitive data or require a witness for data destruction in your company or industry.
