Who We are?

We use both manual and automated processing to disassemble equipment in order to achieve a cleaner separation of materials and additional resource recovery value.

What Makes Us Different

Adhering to our zero landfill policy, we use best practice disassembly rather than nonselective shredding to recoup maximum commodity value and a cleaner separation of the various products we recover from the waste accepted into our facility. Valley City is the only Michigan electronics recycler that processes CRT glass, and with equipment designed by us.

Our Process

Adhering to our zero landfill policy, we use best practice disassembly rather than nonselective shredding to recoup maximum commodity value and a cleaner separation of the various products we recover from the waste accepted into our facility. Electronics contain toxic heavy metals, such as lead found in the solder used on circuit boards, as well as mercury, cadmium and chromium, and flame retardant chemicals present in plastic housings.

Our practice allows both Valley City and our valued customers a lower carbon footprint. Valley City is the only Michigan electronics recycler that processes CRT glass, and with equipment designed by us. Glass containers make up a significant portion of landfill waste because of their weight and density. We are the only Michigan electronics recycler that processes CRT glass, and with equipment designed by us. Glass recycling uses less energy than the creation of new glass, while releasing less carbon dioxide to the environment.
