Triangle Ecycling

Secure Computer Recycling and IT Asset Management Services

computers or other electronics that you want to dispose of responsibly, securely and at no cost.

Whether you are a large or small business, non-profit or individual, now you can recycle your old computers in a way that protects your data and supports Public School STEM* education.

At Triangle Ecycling, your computer is refurbished or recycled as part of a free teaching program that prepares high school students for jobs in Information Technology.

Your old electronics are put to good use in our educational lab! We repurpose what we can and recycle the rest. Your data is guaranteed secure and your ewaste is processed by an R2 Certified Recycler pursuant to our 0% landfill policy.

The primary mission of Triangle Ecycling is supporting STEM education with hands-on tech training for high school students. We are a triple bottom line business engaged in collecting, refurbishing and recycling end-of-life computers and other electronics, commonly known as ewaste.

We serve businesses and organizations – large and small – and individuals. We use what we collect as fuel for a sustainable STEM education lab. With the assistance of Durham, Chapel Hill - Carrboro and Orange County Public School administrators and teachers, we have set up a free program for high school kids to come work in our shop. They refurbish and recycle computers and learn about environmental/humanitarian issues surrounding ewaste and sustainable business models. Refurbished computers are given to charity and sold at below market prices to help bridge the Digital Divide and support the program.

Most businesses and organizations see ewaste disposal as a logistics issue. Their priorities are cost and security. Our fees are modest as our success metrics focus on education over profit. Regulations govern handling of customer information and other secure data as well as dumping ewaste in NC landfills. As a regulatory lawyer, I have many years’ experience counseling clients on compliance and take our responsibility to handle client data securely and ethically very seriously. Hard drives are wiped, pursuant to Dept. of Defense standards, or destroyed and all recycling is processed compliant with R2 Certified 0% landfill policy standards.

Triangle Ecycling provides our clients a new way of looking at ewaste disposal. I call it “alchemy,” turning ewaste into education. What was a logistics matter now becomes a Corporate Social Responsibility opportunity. What was a function of the office manager or the facilities management department, now becomes a matter for the owner, CEO, Sustainability Director or whoever guides the conscience of your organization. We even give 10% of our profits to Durham Public Schools. Ewaste recycling, sustainability and community outreach are three fast growing trends.

Our business goal is to collect as much e-waste as possible and ensure that 100% of it is refurbished or ethically recycled.
