Recycling

Why recycle?

According to UNITAR, the world had
62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2024. In 2022, less than a quarter of the world's e-waste was properly recycled. Let's work together to increase that percent and divert e-waste from landfills!

How does it work?

  • 1. Complete the Form

    Complete the form below with as much information as possible. The more details included, the better I'll be able to understand what you are recycling.

  • 2. Recycling Review

    After I receive the form, I'll review the images and descriptions. I'll let you know what I will or won't take. If I don't accept certain items, I'll send you a few places that will.

  • 3. Schedule Pickup/Drop Off

    Once we both agree on what will be accepted, we will schedule a time for pick up or drop off. There will never be a fee for pickup as long as you are located in the Charlotte, NC area. For those outside the Charlotte area, a shipping label will be provided.

Are you offering cash for recycling?

I would love to but as I am just starting out the business and recycling program, I am unable to. However, I plan to offer a cash quote in the future.

What if I don't want to recycle with you?

No pressure! If at any time throughout the process you want to step away, feel free to do so. However, once you hand over your electronics to me, I am unable to give them back.
